Walking Banana Pudding
Walking Banana Pudding is a fun, no-bake dessert made right inside single-serving vanilla wafer bags. Cold banana pudding, banana slices, and whipped topping make these portable treats easy, cheerful, and ready in about 10 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 box instant banana pudding 5.1 ounces; instant, not cook-and-serve
- 2 cups milk whole milk or your preferred milk that will set the pudding properly
- 8 single-serving packages mini vanilla wafers
- 1 banana sliced thinly
- 1 tub Cool Whip 8 ounces, thawed, or whipped topping of your choice
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the instant banana pudding mix and the milk, then whisk until mostly smooth.
- Let the pudding sit for 5 minutes to set while you slice the banana and gather serving spoons.
- Use scissors to cut open the tops of the eight mini vanilla wafer bags, being careful not to cut too far down so the bags can still hold the pudding.
- Fold the cut edges outward and down to make a small cuff around each bag so they are easier to eat from.
- Spoon the prepared banana pudding into each cookie bag, dividing it as evenly as you can.
- Add a few thin banana slices to each bag.
- Top each bag with a dollop of Cool Whip.
- Serve right away with spoons for crisp vanilla wafers, or refrigerate the finished bags for a few hours if you prefer a softer, classic banana pudding texture.
Notes
For best texture, assemble the bags close to serving time. To make ahead, prepare the pudding and keep it covered in the refrigerator, keep the Cool Whip chilled, and wait to slice the banana and fill the wafer bags until shortly before serving. Leftover assembled bags can be refrigerated and eaten within 1 day, though the bananas may brown, the wafers will soften, and the topping may look less fresh.
