Dairy Free Mini Banana Pudding Cups

Looking for an easy and delicious sweet treat that's perfect for any occasion? What about a desert with individual servings? Look no further than this homemade banana pudding recipe! Made with real bananas and simple ingredients, this creamy dessert is a Southern-style classic that's been given a dairy-free twist.

To make this dairy-free banana pudding, you'll need ripe bananas, non-dairy milk (such as oat milk, soy milk, or almond milk), vanilla pudding mix (vegan pudding mix), and a few other simple substitutions. To give it that classic banana flavor, we'll be using fresh bananas, along with graham cracker crumbs. Feel free to substitute with the traditional vanilla wafer.

To start, you'll want to mix the pudding mixture according to the package instructions, using your non-dairy milk of choice. For best results, you can use a food processor or blender to puree the ripe bananas, but I just use a fork and smash the shit out of them.   The vanilla pudding will add smooth and creamy texture. Once your pudding mixture is ready, you'll want to add in a layer of sliced bananas and vanilla wafers to your trifle dish, mason jars or cupcake wrappers.

To finish off your dairy-free banana pudding, you can top it with crushed vanilla wafers or graham cracker crumbs and pure maple syrup brûlée banana slices. For an extra sweet touch, you can drizzle on some maple syrup or other liquid sweeteners. If you want to make this dessert gluten-free, simply swap out the vanilla wafer cookies for gluten-free vanilla wafers or graham crackers and for a vegan version, simply choose a vegan graham cracker or wafer.

Overall, this Southern-style dairy-free banana pudding is a delicious and creamy dessert that's sure to satisfy your sweet tooth. Whether you're looking for a traditional banana pudding recipe or a dairy-free version, this easy recipe is a must-try with only five ingredients.
