Ingredients
1 (5 oz) box instant vanilla pudding mix
2 cups cold milk
1 cup heavy cream, whipped (or 1 tub whipped topping)
4–5 ripe bananas, sliced
30–35 vanilla wafer cookies (or butter cookies)
2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for whipped cream)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Extra cookies and whipped cream for garnish
Instructions
- Whisk pudding mix with cold milk until thickened; let sit 5 minutes.
- If making whipped cream, beat heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form.
- Fold half of the whipped cream into the pudding to make a light filling.
- In individual cups or jars, layer cookies, banana slices, and pudding mixture.
- Repeat layers until cups are full, finishing with pudding.
- Top with remaining whipped cream and garnish with cookies or banana slices.
- Refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving to allow cookies to soften slightly.
Notes
Use banana or cheesecake pudding for a flavor variation.
Add caramel or chocolate drizzle between layers for richness.
Include strawberries, blueberries, or peaches for a fruity twist.
Sprinkle crushed cookies or granola on top just before serving for crunch.
Dip bananas lightly in lemon juice to slow browning.
