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
- 12 individual packages (1 ounce each) mini Nilla Wafers
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 2 ripe bananas , thinly sliced
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. Empty out the wafers into a bowl. Fold over the top opening of the bags to form a 1/2" collar (this will make the packet a little sturdier for eating out of.)
- Put a few of the cookies back into the bottom of each Nilla wafer bag, then top with a spoonful of pudding, a spoonful of whipped cream, and a couple slices of bananas. Repeat those layers until full to the top (finishing with a couple Nilla wafers and banana slices 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 plastic spoons for virtually no clean-up!
Notes
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.
