Banana Pudding Dessert
This Banana Pudding Dessert is not only visually appealing, but it’s also simple to prepare and perfect for sharing with friends and family. Here’s everything you need to whip up this delicious dessert.
Ingredients
- 1 box vanilla wafers
- 4 ripe bananas, sliced
- 2 cups of milk
- 1 package (5.1 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Start by preparing the vanilla pudding according to the package instructions. In a mixing bowl, combine the milk and pudding mix, whisking until smooth. Allow it to set in the refrigerator for about 5 minutes.
- While the pudding is setting, in another bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. This will give you a light and fluffy topping that you’ll layer with the pudding.
- Once the pudding has set, gently fold in half of the whipped cream mixture to create a lighter consistency.
- Now it’s time to layer! In a large serving dish or a trifle bowl, begin by adding a layer of vanilla wafers at the bottom.
- Next, add a layer of the banana slices followed by a layer of the pudding mixture. Spread it evenly.
- Repeat the layers: vanilla wafers, bananas, and pudding mixture until you reach the top of your dish.
- Finish off with a generous dollop of the remaining whipped cream on the top layer.
- For an extra touch, you can garnish with a few more banana slices and crushed vanilla wafers.
- Chill the dessert in the refrigerator for at least two hours before serving, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
Once chilled, serve it to your guests and watch as they savor every bite of this luscious banana pudding dessert. It’s sure to become a favorite in your dessert repertoire!
