How to Make Banana Pudding Parfaits

1. In a large bowl, whisk together banana pudding and milk. Add cool whip, and whisk again. Set aside.

4. Divide the pudding mixture in half and divide half of the mixture evenly among the cups for the 2nd layer.
5. For the 3rd layer, divide sliced bananas evenly among the glasses.
6. Divide the remaining vanilla wafer crumbs evenly among the glasses for the 4th layer.
7. Divide the remaining pudding mixture among the glasses for the 5th layer.
8. Top with whipped cream and garnish with a banana slice and a vanilla wafer.
9. Serve immediately.

Pro Tips For Making This Recipe

1. Chill your pudding mixture for a few minutes before layering. It’ll set up a bit and make those layers look extra pretty.
2. Don’t skip the garnish. A little whipped cream, a banana slice, and a whole wafer make it Instagram-worthy!
3. Make ahead for parties. Just cover and refrigerate. Add the toppings right before serving so they stay fresh.
4. Want extra crunch? Save a few whole wafers for the bottom layer instead of crumbs.
