Walking Banana Pudding
Walking Banana Pudding makes a fun, quick, and easy portable dessert that's perfect for summer. This no bake dessert is made with just 6 ingredients, featuring all the flavors of classic banana pudding.
Servings: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 1 box (3.4 ounce) Instant banana cream pudding
- 2 cups cold whole milk
- 1 cup cold heavy whipping cream
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 2 ripe bananas thinly sliced
- 12 individual packages (1 ounce each) mini Nilla Wafers
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the instant pudding and milk. Whisk vigorously for 2 minutes until thickened, then place in the fridge for 5 minutes to set.
- While the pudding chills, in another bowl combine the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar. With an electric mixer, beat until stiff peaks have formed.
- Using scissors, carefully cut the top across the seam of the mini Nilla wafer packs.
- Top the cookies with a spoonful of pudding, some sliced bananas, and then a spoonful of whipped cream. Finish with a couple Nilla wafers and banana slices or crushed cookie crumbs for presentation, if desired.(TIP! This is easier if you have a tray or baking dish with higher sides so you can stand them up while filling. It's also a great way to serve them to a group.)
- Serve with some disposable spoons for virtually no clean-up!
Notes
Layering the ingredients. When assembling these, layering the pudding directly on top of the cookies allows them to soften faster. If you prefer crunchier cookies, layer banana slices directly on the cookies, then the pudding and whipped cream.
Switch up the pudding flavor. Vanilla or even chocolate pudding can be used instead of banana pudding if preferred.
Make it even quicker! For a super quick shortcut, Snack Pack pudding can be used instead of boxed or homemade pudding and you can also use Cool Whip or Reddi Whip instead of homemade whipped cream.
