Instructions

Make the Crust:
In a bowl, mix crushed vanilla wafers, melted butter, and sugar until it resembles wet sand.

Assemble Base Layer:
Spoon about 2 tablespoons of crust mixture into the bottom of each dessert cup or ramekin. Lightly press down.

Make the Filling:
In a separate bowl, whisk banana pudding mix with cold milk and vanilla extract for about 2 minutes, until thickened.

Fold in Whipped Topping:
Gently fold in whipped topping until light and creamy.

Layer the Dessert:
Spoon or pipe banana pudding mixture over the crust in each cup. Top with banana slices.

Chill and Serve:
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to set. Serve cold and enjoy!

Notes

Add crushed vanilla wafers on top for extra crunch just before serving.

Best enjoyed within 24 hours for optimal banana freshness.

You can double the banana slices for a more fruity bite.

Use mini mason jars or clear cups for a fun, portable presentation.

For a richer dessert, use half-and-half instead of milk.
