Banana Pudding Cups

Banana pudding cups are a delightful dessert! They typically consist of layers of vanilla pudding, sliced bananas, and either crushed vanilla wafers or graham crackers. Here’s a simple recipe to make banana pudding cups:

Ingredients:

• 2-3 ripe bananas, sliced
• 2 cups cold milk
• 1 package (3.4 ounces) instant vanilla pudding mix
• 1 cup whipped cream or whipped topping
• Vanilla wafers or graham crackers, crushed
• Additional banana slices for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the pudding: In a mixing bowl, whisk the instant vanilla pudding mix with cold milk for about 2 minutes until it thickens. Let it sit for 5 minutes to set.
2. Assemble the cups: Take small serving cups or glasses. Layer the bottom of each cup with a spoonful of crushed vanilla wafers or graham crackers.
3. Add the bananas: Place a layer of sliced bananas on top of the crumbs.
4. Add the pudding: Spoon a layer of the prepared vanilla pudding over the bananas.
5. Repeat the layers: Repeat the layers until the cups are filled, ending with a layer of pudding on top.
6. Top it off: Finish by adding a dollop of whipped cream or whipped topping on each cup.
7. Chill and serve: Refrigerate the pudding cups for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together. Before serving, you can garnish the cups with additional banana slices or a sprinkle of crushed cookies for a decorative touch.

This dessert is not only delicious but also versatile. You can customize it by adding different toppings like chocolate shavings, caramel sauce, or chopped nuts to suit your taste preferences. Enjoy making and savoring these delightful banana pudding cups!
