Introduction
A delicious layered chocolate banana pudding dessert featuring a buttery Greek vanilla cookie crust, fresh banana slices, rich homemade vanilla pudding folded with whipped cream, and dusted layers of unsweetened cocoa powder. Allowed to chill overnight, the flavors meld together into a creamy, decadent treat.
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine the milk, vanilla pudding powder, and sugar. Whisk by hand to break up clumps, then beat with an electric hand mixer until smooth.
Step 2
Pour the pudding mixture into a saucepan over medium heat on the stovetop. Bring to a boil while whisking continuously, and let it simmer for about 1 to 2 minutes until nicely thickened.
Step 3
Transfer the cooked pudding to a clean bowl and place the bowl into an ice water bath. Stir every few minutes to cool it down quickly.
Step 4
In another bowl, add 2 cups of whipping cream, icing sugar, and 1 tsp of vanilla extract. Beat with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form, then store in the refrigerator.
Step 5
Crush the Greek vanilla crackers in a food processor. Melt butter in a skillet, use a small dab to grease a rectangular glass baking dish, then mix the remaining melted butter into the cookie crumbs until well combined.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Simmering the pudding for an extra minute on the stovetop allows it to thicken properly so the finished dessert holds its structure.
Placing the hot pudding bowl in an ice water bath significantly speeds up the cooling process without curdling.
Mashing one banana directly into the pudding mixture infuses deep banana flavor throughout every bite.
Chilling the dessert overnight is essential for the cookies and layers to set and soften into a scoopable consistency.
