Scale
Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas, sliced
- 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
- 2 cups cold milk
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the pudding: In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk until smooth. Let it set in the refrigerator for about 5 minutes until it thickens.
- Make the whipped cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
- Assemble the pudding: In a serving dish or individual cups, layer sliced bananas, prepared vanilla pudding, and whipped cream. Repeat layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of whipped cream on top.
- Chill: Cover the assembled pudding with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld and the dessert to cool completely before serving.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm bananas to prevent browning and maintain texture in the pudding layers.
- For added texture, consider layering vanilla wafer cookies between the pudding layers.
- To reduce sugar, use sugar-free instant pudding and adjust the powdered sugar in the whipped cream accordingly.
- Consume within 2 days for best freshness and taste.
