Simple to prepare and full of nostalgic flavor, it is perfect for family gatherings, potlucks, or anytime you want a sweet, refreshing treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas, peeled and sliced about 1/4 inch thick
  • 1 package vanilla pudding mix (plant-based)
  • 3 cups plant-based milk
  • 1 teaspoon natural vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)

Cookies and Toppings

  • About 40 soft vanilla cookies (can substitute gluten-free cookies if desired)
  • 1 cup plant-based whipped topping

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pudding Base: Whisk the vanilla pudding mix (plant-based) and natural gelling agent into the plant-based milk until smooth and thickened. Gently stir in the natural vanilla extract and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) for warmth and richness.
  2. Slice the Bananas: Peel the ripe bananas and slice them evenly about a quarter-inch thick to balance flavor and texture perfectly.
  3. Layer the Ingredients: In a large serving dish or individual jars, start with a layer of soft vanilla cookies, followed by a layer of banana slices. Pour a generous amount of the pudding base over to cover the layer.
  4. Repeat Layers: Continue layering cookies, bananas, and pudding until all ingredients are used, ending with a smooth layer of pudding on top.
  5. Top with Whipped Topping: Spread a thick layer of plant-based whipped topping over the final pudding layer for a light, fluffy finish.
  6. Chill and Set: Refrigerate the assembled pudding for at least four hours, or overnight, to allow flavors to meld and the pudding to set firmly.

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and soft texture.
  • Layer cookies quickly to prevent them from becoming too mushy.
  • Chill thoroughly for clean, beautiful layers.
  • Use a clear dish to showcase the dessert’s layered look.
  • This pudding tastes better the next day when flavors have fully combined.
