Description
A quick and easy no-bake dessert featuring layers of creamy pudding, fresh bananas, and crunchy Nilla Wafers, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cold milk
- 1 (3.4 ounces) package 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 and 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 from the outside.
- Scoop 1/4 cup of the vanilla pudding into the bottom of each cup and spread out to cover the banana slices fully.
- Place 4-5 Nilla Wafers into each cup on top of the pudding layer, ensuring the cookies face outwards so they’re visible through the cups.
- Scoop 1/4 cup of the whipped cream into each cup, smoothing it out so the Nilla Wafers are fully covered.
- Divide the remaining vanilla pudding evenly among the cups, layering it atop the whipped cream.
- Top each cup with a generous dollop of whipped cream and garnish with a Nilla Wafer.
Notes
For best results, slice bananas right before layering to prevent browning. These cups can be made a day in advance, just store the whipped cream topping separately.
