This classic treat combines smooth, velvety pudding, ripe bananas, and crispy wafers to create a luscious texture and irresistible flavor perfect for family gatherings or a comforting snack.

Ingredients

Scale

Banana Pudding

  • 3 cups plant-based dairy/cheese
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • 2 teaspoons natural gelling agent
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Main Ingredients

  • 4 ripe but firm fresh bananas
  • 1 package plant-based wafers

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pudding Base: Begin by whisking together plant-based dairy/cheese, sugar, and natural vanilla extract in a saucepan over medium heat. Slowly sprinkle in the natural gelling agent while stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Continue cooking until the mixture thickens beautifully, then remove it from heat to cool slightly.
  2. Slice the Bananas: While the pudding cools, slice your fresh bananas into thin, even pieces to ensure they layer nicely and blend perfectly with the creamy pudding.
  3. Layer the Pudding, Bananas, and Wafers: In a deep dish or individual serving glasses, start layering by spreading a bit of pudding, followed by banana slices, then a layer of crunchy plant-based wafers. Repeat these layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a generous layer of pudding on top.
  4. Chill and Set: Cover the assembled pudding and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. This resting time allows the flavors to meld together and for the pudding to set perfectly, creating the classic texture loved in Old Fashioned Banana Pudding.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Once chilled, garnish with additional wafers or sliced bananas if desired. Serve cold and enjoy the creamy, dreamy layers of this timeless dessert.

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas for the best natural sweetness and soft texture without becoming mushy.
  • Gently fold ingredients to avoid overmixing and maintain a silky smooth pudding texture.
  • Chill thoroughly to help flavors develop and to allow the pudding to set perfectly.
  • Layer banana slices evenly to prevent uneven texture and flavor in each bite.
  • Use fresh bananas and natural extracts to elevate the dish’s flavor.
