Bananas Foster Pudding Recipe

Bananas Foster Pudding is a layered dessert that combines caramelized bananas, creamy pudding, and vanilla wafers, finished with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon. This dessert is perfect for any occasion or when you crave something extra special.

Ingredients:

For the Bananas Foster Layer:

3-4 ripe bananas, sliced
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup unsalted butter

1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon dark rum (optional)
1/4 cup heavy cream

For the Pudding Layer:

1 (5-ounce) box instant vanilla pudding mix
2 cups cold milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For Assembly:

1 box vanilla wafers
Whipped cream (store-bought or homemade)
Cinnamon (for garnish)

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Bananas Foster Layer

In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the brown sugar and stir until it combines and begins to bubble, about 2 minutes.
Add the cinnamon, stirring it in, then carefully pour in the rum (if using). Be cautious, as it may briefly flame up.
Add the sliced bananas to the caramel mixture and cook for 2-3 minutes, gently stirring until the bananas are coated and softened.
Pour in the heavy cream and stir until the sauce is smooth and well-blended. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 2: Prepare the Pudding Layer

In a large bowl, whisk together the instant pudding mix, cold milk, and vanilla extract until the mixture thickens (about 2 minutes). Set aside to allow it to continue setting.

Step 3: Assemble the Pudding

In a 9×9-inch baking dish or individual serving cups, place a base layer of vanilla wafers.
Spread a layer of pudding over the wafers, followed by a layer of the caramelized bananas.
Repeat the layers — wafers, pudding, and bananas — until all ingredients are used, finishing with a pudding layer on top.
