Ingredients
Pudding Base
- 1 box banana pudding mix (3.4 oz box) Instant pudding for quick preparation.
- 2 cups cold milk Whole milk preferred for richness, but 2% is fine.
Filling
- 3-4 pieces ripe bananas Slice just before layering.
- 1 tub whipped topping (8 oz) Try stabilizing with powdered sugar.
- 1 package golden sandwich cookies Vanilla wafers or golden Oreos work well.
- 1/4 cup colorful mini candies or pastel sprinkles Optional for topping.
Instructions
Preparation
- Chill your cups or jars to keep the pudding cool.
- Make the pudding by mixing the banana pudding mix with 2 cups of cold milk in a bowl; whisk for about 2 minutes until smooth.
- Slice bananas into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
Assembly
- Layer a spoonful of pudding at the bottom of each cup, then add a layer of broken cookies, followed by banana slices and more pudding.
- Repeat the layers until the cups are about 3/4 full, leaving room for the whipped topping.
- Top each cup with a generous dollop of whipped topping.
Chilling

Notes
If making ahead, assemble ingredients a day in advance without the bananas and whipped topping. For freshness, add them right before serving.
