Description
Delightful cups of layered banana pudding featuring Nilla Wafer cookies, creamy vanilla pudding, and fluffy whipped cream.
Ingredients
- 2 cups cold milk
- 1 package (3.4 ounces) instant vanilla pudding
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2-3 large bananas (peeled and sliced)
- 36 Nilla Wafer cookies
Instructions
- Whisk together the cold milk with the instant vanilla pudding until thickened. Cover the bowl and refrigerate until needed.
- Beat together the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer on medium speed until stiff peaks form.
- Set 6 plastic 9-ounce punch cups on the counter or a cookie sheet. Place banana slices along the bottom of each cup around the sides so they are visible outside the cup.
- Scoop 1/4 cup of the vanilla pudding into the bottom of each cup and spread it out, ensuring the banana slices are fully covered.
- Place 4-5 Nilla Wafers in each cup on top of the pudding layer, positioning the cookies facing out.
- Scoop 1/4 cup of the whipped cream into each cup and smooth it out so the Nilla Wafers are fully covered.
- Divide the remaining vanilla pudding evenly into each cup.
- Top with a dollop of whipped cream and a Nilla Wafer for garnish. If serving immediately, add a slice of banana for garnish as well.
Notes
Use ripe bananas for best flavor; chill for an hour for firmer dessert. Consider layering with chocolate pudding for a twist.
