Homemade Banana Pudding

🍌 Homemade Banana Pudding (Easy & Classic)

A creamy, sweet dessert made with bananas, vanilla pudding, and cookies. This version is simple and tastes amazing.

🧾 Ingredients

• 2–3 ripe bananas
• 2 cups cold milk
• 1 pack vanilla pudding mix
• 1 cup whipped cream (or whipped topping)
• 1 pack vanilla wafers or plain biscuits
• 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
• 2 tbsp sugar (optional, if you want it sweeter)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Make the pudding
   In a bowl, whisk the vanilla pudding mix with cold milk for about 2 minutes until thick.
2. Add cream
   Fold in whipped cream and vanilla extract to make it extra creamy.
3. Slice bananas
   Cut the bananas into thin slices.
4. Layer the pudding
   In a serving dish:
   • First layer: vanilla wafers/biscuits
   • Second layer: banana slices
   • Third layer: pudding mixture
     Repeat layers until everything is used.
5. Chill
   Cover and refrigerate for 2–3 hours so the cookies soften and flavors blend.

✨ Optional Toppings

• Extra whipped cream
• Crushed biscuits
• Chocolate shavings
• Caramel drizzle

🍽️ Tip

The pudding tastes even better the next day because the biscuits become soft like cake.
