Ingredients

Scale

Fruits

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, washed and sliced
  • 2 ripe bananas, peeled and sliced

Pudding Base

  • 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 2 cups milk (whole or low-fat)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Additional Ingredients

  • 1 cup whipped cream
  • Optional: 1 cup vanilla wafers or graham crackers for layering

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pudding: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and milk according to the package instructions until thickened. Stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the flavor.
  2. Slice the Fruit: Wash and slice the strawberries into thin pieces. Peel and slice bananas into even round discs to ensure neat layering.
  3. Layer the Ingredients: In a clear glass or dessert dish, start with a layer of vanilla wafers or graham crackers if using. Add a generous spoonful of pudding, then a layer of banana slices and strawberries. Repeat these layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of pudding on top.
  4. Add Whipped Cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the remaining pudding or spread a layer of whipped cream on top of the dessert for a light and fluffy finish.
  5. Chill and Serve: Cover the pudding with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the layers to set before serving.

Notes

  • Use ripe fruit for maximum sweetness and flavor.
  • Layer carefully with a clear dish for an attractive presentation.
  • To prevent banana slices from browning, toss them in a little lemon juice before layering.
  • Serve chilled for the best taste and texture.
  • Adjust sweetness by modifying sugar content in pudding or fruit if needed.
