Caramel Banana Pudding Cups are a luscious layered dessert combining sweet ripe bananas, creamy vanilla pudding, crunchy vanilla wafers, and rich caramel sauce. Perfect for gatherings or a sweet family treat, these cups deliver a mix of textures and flavors that delight with every bite.

Ingredients

Scale

Banana Layer

  • 3 large ripe bananas, sliced

Pudding Layer

  • 1 (3.4 oz) box instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 2 cups cold milk
  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup whipped cream or Cool Whip

Crunchy Layer

  • 20 vanilla wafers, crushed

Caramel Sauce

  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce (plus additional for drizzling)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pudding: In a large bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk until thickened, about 2 minutes. This creates the creamy base layer of the dessert.
  2. Mix in condensed milk and whipped cream: Stir in the sweetened condensed milk until fully combined to add sweetness and richness, then gently fold in the whipped cream or Cool Whip for a light, airy texture.
  3. Start layering: In individual serving cups or jars, place a spoonful of crushed vanilla wafers at the bottom to add crunch and a subtle vanilla flavor.
  4. Add bananas: Layer sliced bananas evenly over the crushed wafers for a fresh, fruity element.
  5. Layer with pudding and caramel: Spoon a layer of the prepared pudding mixture over the bananas, then drizzle with caramel sauce to add decadent sweetness.
  6. Repeat layers: Continue layering crushed wafers, bananas, pudding mixture, and caramel until the serving cup is filled, finishing with a drizzle of caramel sauce on top.
  7. Chill and serve: Refrigerate the assembled cups for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld and the pudding to set. Serve chilled for best taste.

Notes

  • For an extra indulgent twist, add a dollop of whipped cream on top just before serving.
  • These pudding cups are ideal for parties, potlucks, or a sweet family treat.
  • Use ripe bananas for maximum sweetness and flavor.
  • To make it ahead, assemble the cups and refrigerate up to 4 hours before serving.
