Banana pudding cups are a no-bake, individually portioned dessert layered with creamy vanilla pudding, fresh bananas, and vanilla wafers, topped with whipped cream. Perfect for parties or make-ahead treats.

Ingredients

  • 1 package instant vanilla pudding mix (3.4 oz)
  • 2 cups cold milk
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz)
  • 1 container whipped topping (8 oz, such as Cool Whip)
  • 3–4 ripe bananas, sliced
  • 1 box vanilla wafers
  • Whipped cream for topping (optional)
  • Crushed wafers or banana slices for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk until it begins to thicken.
  2. Add the sweetened condensed milk and mix until smooth and well combined.
  3. Fold in the whipped topping gently to keep the mixture light and fluffy.
  4. In small cups or jars, layer a few vanilla wafers at the bottom, followed by a layer of pudding and banana slices.
  5. Repeat the layers until the cup is filled, ending with a layer of pudding.
  6. Top each cup with whipped cream and garnish with crushed wafers or banana slices, if desired.
  7. Chill the pudding cups in the fridge for at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes

  • Slice bananas just before assembly to prevent browning.
  • A light brush of lemon juice can help keep bananas fresh-looking.
  • These cups are best enjoyed within 1-2 days for optimal texture.
  • Customize with different cookies or fruit additions.
