How to make the best Banana Pudding Bites:

In a medium mixing bowl, combine instant banana cream pudding mix with heavy whipping cream and milk. Whisk to dissolve any lumps, then set aside for 5 minutes to thicken.
Fold in 1 cup of thawed whipped topping, then fold in the chopped banana and 1 cup of crushed Nilla Wafers.
Lay the Nilla Wafers (flat side facing up) on a baking sheet or serving platter, then scoop 1 tsp of the banana pudding mixture onto each Nilla Wafer.
Transfer the remaining whipped topping into a Ziploc bag, cut off one end, then squeeze a dollop on top of each banana pudding bite. Sprinkle with more crushed Nilla Wafers and enjoy!

My top tips:

INSTANT PUDDING: Make sure the banana pudding mix you’re using is instant! The instant pudding will thicken without having to cook it on the stove and that’s exactly what we want. Once the instant pudding is combined with milk, it’ll only take about 5 minutes to thicken on its own.
BANANAS: I recommend using just ripe bananas that are bright yellow with no brown spots. If they’re overly ripe, they’ll be too mushy for this recipe.
WHIPPED TOPPING: Using frozen whipped topping adds even more ease and convenience to this already easy recipe! Rather than taking the time to whip heavy cream, just make sure you’re whipped topping is fully thawed before use.
SCOOPING: I find it helpful to use a 1 tsp sized triggered cookie scoop to portion out the banana pudding mixture onto the Nilla Wafer cookies. This just helps keep thinks even and mess free!
STORING: Leftover Banana Pudding Bites need to be stored in the fridge because the pudding mixture is perishable. They’ll keep for up to 3 days stored in an airtight container, just keep in mind that the longer you store them, the more the vanilla wafer cookies will soften and begin to lose that crunchy texture. If you prefer crunchy, I recommend enjoying these within 1 day.
