How To Make Banana Pudding Cups
1. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the cold milk with the instant vanilla pudding until it is thickened. Cover the bowl and refrigerate it until we need it.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, beat together the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and the vanilla extract with an electric mixer on medium speed until stiff peaks form.
3. Set 6 plastic 9-ounce punch cups on the counter or a cookie sheet. Place banana slices along the bottom of each cup around the sides so they are visible outside the cup.
4. Scoop ¼ cup of the vanilla pudding into the bottom of each cup and spread out so the banana slices are fully covered.
5. Place 4-5 Nilla Wafers in the cup on top of the pudding layer, but position the cookies facing out so each round cookie is visible through the sides of the cups.
6. Scoop ¼ cup of the whipped cream into the cups and smooth out so the Nilla Wafers are fully covered with the whipped cream.
7. Divide the remaining vanilla pudding evenly into each cup.
8. Top with a dollop of the whipped cream and a Nilla Wafer for garnish. If serving immediately, add a slice of banana for garnish as well.
Important Recipe Notes
This recipe is best served immediately after assembling as the bananas will brown, but it can be covered and kept in the fridge for up to 3 days.
The pudding usually used for banana pudding is actually vanilla, but you can banana flavored pudding mix instead.
