Description

These Mini Banana Pudding Cups are the best Summer dessert and a No Bake Recipe. This classic Southern dessert is so easy to make in just 30 minutes, with only 6 ingredients! It's great for parties and holidays, like Memorial Day, Labor Day and July 4th.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 5.1 ounce vanilla pudding mix
  • 3 cups cold whole milk
  • 14 ounce sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 4 to 6 bananas
  • 11 ounce Mini Nilla wafers
  • 12 (8 ounce) mason jars or clear plastic cups


Instructions

  1. Rinse and dry the mason jars. In a large bowl, whisk together the vanilla pudding package with cold milk until thickened for 2 minutes. Then, allow it to set up and thicken for another 3 minutes. It should be thick and pudding consistency.
  2. Add the sweetened condensed milk into the pudding mixture. Refrigerate. Note: This will make the pudding thinner and that's ok. 
  3. In a stand mixer or with a hand mixer with the whisk attachment, whip the heavy cream on medium speed until stiff peaks form.
  4. Remove the pudding mixture from the fridge and fold 1/2 of the whipped heavy cream until it is combined. Set the remaining whipped cream aside for topping the pudding cups.
  5. In each 8 ounce jar, layer in a bit of pudding mix (about 1 inch high), then 6 banana slices, more pudding mix, 6 vanilla wafers, pudding mix, 6 banana slices, pudding mix, 6 more vanilla wafers, then a small dollop of whipped cream. Top with lid. Repeat with all 12 jars.
  6. Store in the fridge until serving. Label the tops of the jars if desired and enjoy!

Notes

  • I find it easiest to make 3 at a time when layering in the glass jars.
  • It can get a bit messy, but if you have a bowl with a pouring spout on it for the pudding mixture, it definitely helps!
  • Don't overmix the whipped cream. As soon as the stiff peaks form, turn it off.
