Pistachio and Almond Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

White Chocolate Banana Pudding is a rich and creamy dessert made with layers of vanilla wafers, fresh bananas, and luscious white chocolate pudding. A decadent twist on the classic Southern favorite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (3.3 oz) instant white chocolate pudding mix
  • 2 cups cold milk
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 45 ripe bananas, sliced
  • 1 box (11 oz) vanilla wafers
  • White chocolate shavings or curls for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the instant white chocolate pudding mix and cold milk until smooth and thickened. Let sit for 5 minutes.
  2. Add the sweetened condensed milk to the pudding and mix until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
  4. Fold the whipped cream into the pudding mixture until fully incorporated.
  5. In a 9×13-inch dish or trifle bowl, layer vanilla wafers on the bottom.
  6. Top with a layer of banana slices, then spread a layer of the pudding mixture over the bananas.
  7. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, ending with a layer of pudding on top.
  8. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  9. Before serving, garnish with white chocolate shavings if desired.

Notes

  • Use ripe but firm bananas to avoid browning and mushiness.
  • Make ahead to allow flavors to meld and texture to set properly.
  • Can be made in individual cups for easy serving.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
