Description
Strawberry Banana Pudding is a creamy, fruity layered dessert made with fresh strawberries, bananas, vanilla pudding, and whipped topping—similar to classic banana pudding but with a bright berry twist.
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
- 2 bananas, sliced
- 1 box (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
- 2 cups cold milk
- 1 cup whipped topping
- 2 cups vanilla wafer cookies or shortbread cookies
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- Extra strawberries for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare vanilla pudding by whisking pudding mix with cold milk for 2 minutes until thickened.
- Fold whipped topping into the pudding mixture to create a light, creamy filling. Add vanilla extract if desired.
- In a serving dish, begin with a layer of cookies at the bottom.
- Add a layer of pudding, followed by strawberries and banana slices.
- Repeat layers until the dish is full, ending with pudding and extra fruit on top.
- Chill for at least 1 hour to soften the cookies and enhance flavor.
Notes
- Use fresh, firm bananas to prevent browning.
- Banana pudding mix can replace vanilla pudding for stronger banana flavor.
- Add crushed cookies on top before serving for crunch.
