Ingredients
Scale
- For the Banana Pudding:
- 1 (3.4 oz) box instant banana pudding mix
- 2 cups cold milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream, whipped
- For the Layers:
- 3 large bananas, thinly sliced
- 1 ½ cups vanilla wafers or graham crackers, crushed
- 1 cup whipped cream
- For the Chocolate Shell:
- 1 ½ cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or vegetable oil
Instructions
- Prepare the Banana Pudding: Whisk the instant banana pudding mix with cold milk and vanilla extract until smooth. Fold in whipped heavy cream.
- Layer the Cups: In serving cups, layer crushed vanilla wafers, banana slices, and the prepared banana pudding. Repeat the layers if desired, ending with a layer of pudding.
- Top with Whipped Cream: Add a dollop of whipped cream on top of each cup.
- Make the Chocolate Shell: Melt the chocolate chips with coconut oil until smooth. Spoon or drizzle the melted chocolate over the whipped cream to form a shell.
- Refrigerate for 1–2 hours until the chocolate sets, then serve chilled.
Notes
- You can substitute graham crackers for vanilla wafers for a different texture.
- For a firmer chocolate shell, add slightly more coconut oil to the chocolate mixture.
- These cups are best served cold to keep the layers fresh and the chocolate crunchy.
