Ingredients

Pudding Mixture

  • 3.4 oz Instant Vanilla Pudding (96g)
  • 14 oz Sweetened Condensed Milk (396g)
  • 1½ cups Water

Other Ingredients

  • 14 small Bananas (you may use fewer for medium bananas)
  • 15 oz Egg Drop Biscuits (440g)
  • 3 cups Cold Heavy Cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare pudding base: In a mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and water. Using a hand mixer, blend until well combined. Add the instant vanilla pudding mix and continue to mix for about 2 minutes until smooth.
  2. Chill the pudding: Cover the pudding mixture and refrigerate it for about 4 hours to allow it to set properly.
  3. Whip the cream: Once chilled, whisk the cold heavy cream in a cold bowl until stiff peaks form.
  4. Combine pudding and cream: Gently fold half of the whipped cream into the pudding mixture using a hand mixer until just combined. Add the remaining cream and mix again until evenly incorporated.
  5. Slice the bananas: Peel and slice the bananas into even pieces and set aside for layering.
  6. Assemble the layers: In a serving dish, spread a layer of the cream pudding mixture followed by a layer of egg drop biscuits, then a layer of sliced bananas. Repeat these layers once more, ending with a final layer of cream pudding mixture on top. Sprinkle crushed egg drop biscuits over the top for garnish.
  7. Chill before serving: Cover the assembled pudding with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow flavors to meld and biscuits to soften slightly.
  8. Serve: When ready to serve, scoop out portions using an ice cream scoop into individual cups or bowls. Enjoy this creamy, layered banana pudding dessert!

Notes

  • For best results, use small bananas as indicated, or adjust quantity if using medium-sized bananas.
  • Chilling times are important for proper pudding setting and flavor development—do not skip refrigerating stages.
  • You can substitute egg drop biscuits with vanilla wafers if preferred.
  • Whipping the cream until stiff peaks ensures the pudding mixture is light and fluffy.
  • This dessert is best served chilled and consumed within 2 days for freshness.
