Creamy and nostalgic banana pudding dessert cups layered with vanilla pudding, fresh bananas, and crunchy cookies, topped with whipped cream for an easy no-bake treat.
Ingredients
- 2 cups cold milk
- 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 ripe bananas (sliced)
- 1 1/2 cups vanilla wafer cookies
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together cold milk and vanilla pudding mix until thickened. Set aside.
- In another bowl, whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
- Fold half of the whipped cream into the pudding to make it lighter and creamier.
- In serving cups, layer vanilla wafers, banana slices, and pudding mixture.
- Repeat layers until cups are filled.
- Top with remaining whipped cream.
- Crush extra wafers on top for garnish if desired.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm bananas to prevent mushiness.
- Assemble shortly before serving to keep cookies from getting too soft.
- You can substitute whipped topping for homemade whipped cream.
- Add a drizzle of caramel for extra flavor.
