Ingredients

Scale

Banana Pudding Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas, peeled and sliced
  • 2 cups plant-based dairy
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon natural gelling agent
  • 1/4 teaspoon pinch of salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1/2 teaspoon banana extract (natural)

Layering Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups plant-based vanilla wafers

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pudding Base: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the plant-based dairy, granulated sugar, natural gelling agent, pinch of salt, vanilla extract (natural), and banana extract (natural). Stir constantly until the mixture thickens into a smooth, velvety pudding base. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
  2. Slice Your Bananas: Peel and cut the ripe bananas into even slices to ensure consistent layering and balanced flavor in each bite. Set the banana slices aside for layering.
  3. Layer Your Dessert: Choose a serving dish or individual glasses and start with a layer of plant-based vanilla wafers. Follow with a layer of the pudding, then a layer of banana slices. Repeat the layering process until all ingredients are used, finishing with a pudding layer.
  4. Chill and Set: Cover the assembled banana pudding with plastic wrap or a clean cloth. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight, allowing the natural gelling agent to set the pudding firmly and meld the flavors beautifully.
  5. Final Touch: Just before serving, add a final layer of crunchy plant-based vanilla wafers or thin banana slices on top. Optionally, sprinkle a light dusting of cinnamon (natural) to enhance aroma and appearance.

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas for the sweetest, most flavor-packed pudding.
  • Allow sufficient chilling time for best texture and flavor melding.
  • Layer carefully for an ideal balance of pudding and banana in every spoonful.
  • Choose high-quality plant-based dairy for rich creaminess.
  • Add wafers on top just before serving to keep them crisp.
