I love a good no-bake dessert! They are typically very simple and can be made really anyone regardless of their skill level in the kitchen. For instance, no-bake cheesecakes are incredibly easy to make but so impressive! The best part about no-bake desserts? They are perfect for summertime when you don't want to heat up your house by turning on the oven!
This Banana Pudding Recipe is amazing in so many ways!
- Simple Ingredients. Just water, milk, instant vanilla pudding mix, sweetened condensed milk, and whipping cream for the pudding which is layered with vanilla wafer cookies and sliced bananas, of course. Lastly, some lightly sweetened homemade whipped cream for the topping.
- Easy to make. Just some whisking and whipping, then some layering and chilling and you're done!
- It. Tastes. So. GOOD! The subtle flavours of vanilla and real bananas in this dessert are so dreamy and comforting!
For the photos for this recipe, I made the banana pudding in individual serving dishes. This is especially great for making it presentable and easy for serving. This method is a little more work. Distributing everything between all 8 dishes, layering, etc. You can definitely make this dessert in a 9X13-inch dish instead or a trifle bowl if you would prefer.
