Ingredients You Will Need
Milk, 2 cups, cold
Vanilla instant pudding powder, 1 pack about 100 grams
Fresh ripe bananas, 3 medium size
Fresh cream or whipped cream, 1 cup
Sweet biscuits or vanilla cookies, 200 grams
Sugar, 2 tablespoons optional depending on taste
Vanilla essence, 1 teaspoon
Butter, 2 tablespoons melted optional for biscuit layer
Step by Step Method
First, take a large mixing bowl and pour the cold milk into it. Add the vanilla instant pudding powder to the milk. Use a whisk or spoon and mix it well. Keep stirring for about two minutes until the mixture becomes thick and smooth. Make sure there are no lumps. Once done, keep this bowl aside for a few minutes so the pudding can set properly.
Next, take another bowl and add the fresh cream or whipped cream. If the cream is not sweet, you can add sugar to it. Add vanilla essence as well. Use a spoon or whisk to mix gently until the cream becomes soft and smooth. Do not over mix. Now slowly add this cream into the prepared pudding mixture. Fold it gently so the pudding stays light and airy. This step makes the pudding extra creamy and delicious.
Now prepare the biscuit layer. Take the sweet biscuits and crush them into small pieces. You can use a rolling pin or your hands. The texture should be slightly coarse, not powder. If you want a richer taste, add melted butter to the crushed biscuits and mix well. This step is optional but it adds a nice flavor and helps the biscuit layer hold together.
Peel the bananas and slice them into thin round pieces. Try to use ripe bananas because they are sweeter and softer. Keep the banana slices ready on a plate. Do not slice them too early or they may turn brown.
Now it is time to assemble the pudding cups. Take small serving cups or glasses. Start by adding one spoon of crushed biscuits at the bottom of each cup. Press lightly with the spoon. Then add a layer of banana slices on top of the biscuits. After that, add a generous layer of the pudding mixture.
Repeat the layers again. Add biscuits, then bananas, then pudding. Finish with a smooth pudding layer on top. Use the back of the spoon to make it look neat and even.
Once all cups are ready, cover them gently and place them in the refrigerator. Let them chill for at least two hours. This helps all the layers set well and the flavors mix beautifully.
Before serving, you can decorate the top with banana slices, crushed biscuits, or a small swirl of cream. Serve cold and enjoy your homemade No Bake Banana Pudding Cups.
