Description
A delightful dessert that layers creamy vanilla pudding, ripe bananas, and crunchy strawberry cookies for a nostalgic treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups vanilla pudding
- 3 ripe bananas, sliced
- 2 cups whipped topping
- 1 cup strawberry cookies, crushed
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
Instructions
- Prepare the Vanilla Pudding: In a large bowl, whisk together your vanilla pudding according to the package instructions. Once mixed thoroughly, allow the pudding to chill for about 10 minutes to set slightly.
- Layer the Pudding: In your chosen serving dish, pour half of the chilled vanilla pudding at the bottom, creating a smooth, even layer.
- Add Bananas: Gently place the sliced bananas over the pudding, arranging them in a pleasing fashion.
- Spread the Whipped Topping: Dollop half of the whipped topping over the bananas and use your spatula to spread it evenly across, ensuring every slice of banana gets enveloped in that sweet creaminess.
- Create the Crunch: In a separate bowl, blend the crushed strawberry cookies with the melted butter until well combined. This mixture will create a delightful crumble.
- Layer the Crumble: Sprinkle half of the strawberry crumble over the whipped topping, letting those crumbs create a gorgeous texture.
- Repeat the Layers: Now, repeat the process with the remaining pudding, bananas, whipped topping, and finish with the last of the strawberry crumble on top.
- Chill: Cover your masterpiece with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 120 minutes.
Notes
Make sure your bananas are ripe but not overly soft to avoid mushiness. You can also substitute other fruits or cookies if desired.
