Ingredients
-
Pudding Base: 1 pack (3.4 oz) instant vanilla or banana cream pudding mix, 2 cups cold milk, and 1 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip) for fluffiness.
-
Crumble Layer: 1.5 cups crushed vanilla wafers or shortbread cookies.
-
Fruit: 3–4 ripe bananas, sliced.
-
Topping: 1/2 cup semi-sweet mini chocolate chips.
Instructions
-
Prepare the Cream: In a large bowl, whisk the pudding mix and cold milk for 2 minutes. Let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken. Fold in the whipped topping gently to give it that light, “mousse-like” texture seen in the photo.
-
The First Layer: Spoon a generous layer of the pudding mixture into the bottom of individual clear cups.
-
The Crumble: Add a thick layer of crushed cookies over the pudding. Press down slightly so it stays in place.
-
The Top Layer: Fill the remainder of the cup with more pudding mixture, leaving a little room at the top.
-
Garnish: Arrange fresh banana slices in a circular pattern on top of the pudding.
-
Finish: Sprinkle a handful of mini chocolate chips over the center.
-
Chill: For the best taste, refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the cookie layer to soften slightly into a cake-like texture.

Anti-Browning: Toss the banana slices in a little lemon juice or pineapple juice before topping to keep them looking bright and fresh for photos.
