Banana Chocolate Chip Pudding Parfait.

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

  1. 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.

  2. The First Layer: Spoon a generous layer of the pudding mixture into the bottom of individual clear cups.

  3. The Crumble: Add a thick layer of crushed cookies over the pudding. Press down slightly so it stays in place.

  4. The Top Layer: Fill the remainder of the cup with more pudding mixture, leaving a little room at the top.

  5. Garnish: Arrange fresh banana slices in a circular pattern on top of the pudding.

  6. Finish: Sprinkle a handful of mini chocolate chips over the center.

  7. 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.
