Description
These Easter Banana Pudding Cups are a delightful combination of creamy banana pudding, fresh banana slices, and crunchy golden cookies, all layered in individual cups for a festive and easy-to-serve dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package of instant banana pudding mix
- 2 cups of milk
- 2 large bananas, sliced
- 1 cup of golden cookies (like Nilla Wafers)
- 1 cup of whipped topping
- Whipped cream (for serving, optional)
Instructions
- Pour the 2 cups of milk into a mixing bowl and sprinkle the package of instant banana pudding mix over the surface. Whisk briskly until the powder dissolves and the mixture looks smooth. Let the pudding sit for about 5 minutes to thicken.
- Place a spoonful of the thickened banana pudding into the bottom of each serving cup.
- Arrange a layer of sliced bananas on top of the pudding in each cup.
- Place a layer of golden cookies over the bananas.
- Continue the pudding → bananas → cookies sequence until the cups are nearly full. Finish with a generous layer of whipped topping.
- Refrigerate the assembled cups for at least 30 minutes before serving.
- Top each cup with a dollop of whipped cream if desired and garnish with a cookie or banana slice. Serve chilled.
Notes
Slice bananas right before assembling to prevent darkening. You can also toss them lightly with lemon juice to slow browning if sliced early.
