This Strawberry Banana Pudding is one of my most favorite things! It’s super flavorful and delicious. Also, it’s also really easy to make but looks like a million bucks.
Strawberry BANANA Pudding Recipe
The reason why this it’s so delicious is that it has three layers of pudding, one packed with chocolate flavor, another one packed with a vanilla punch and the final one with a ton of strawberries. So, not only it has a ton of different flavors, but it also looks charming layered into glasses.
While you can whip up every flavor on its own, I prefer to go the easy route! I start with a pudding base, and once it’s thoroughly cooked and creamy and velvety, I just divide it into three bowls and add the rest of the ingredients to each bowl. So in this case, I would add the cocoa powder to one bowl, the strawberry jam to the other and the vanilla extract to the last one.
And then it’s just a matter of scooping the pudding into the glasses and then topping them with some banana and a drizzle of chocolate syrup. I find that especially the little ones love to lend their hands and help to fill the glasses, so this could also be a great afternoon activity with the little ones.
Pudding Ingredients
- 1 Cup almond milk
- 3 Tbsps sugar
- ¼ Cup cornstarch
- 2 Eggs
- 1 Tbsp butter
- 1 Tbsp vanilla extract
- 1 Tbsp strawberry jam
- 1 Tbsp cocoa powder
Tools & Supplies
- Saucepan (this is our favorite brand of pots and pans)
- Pudding Cups or Pudding Cups with Covers
Topping Options
For our pudding, I topped them with banana slices and drizzled chocolate syrup
. You can also add whipped topping (like cool whip) or whipped cream (here is our low carb whipped cream) to the top of the pudding along with sliced strawberries. I have seen the pudding also topped with a layer of sliced strawberries and vanilla wafers (aka nilla wafers) and even graham crackers.
How long will the pudding last in the fridge?
After your Strawberry Banana Pudding is done is just a matter of placing the glasses into the fridge for a couple of hours or until they set. I usually make a big batch on the weekends to have enough pudding for the whole week, and since they already come in individual servings there’s no need to have extra portion control. 😉
And the fact that it comes in individual servings also makes it ideal for parties and gatherings, trust me friend when I say everyone will ask for the recipe!
How to Make Strawberry BANANA Pudding?
Firstly, start by mixing the milk, sugar, cornstarch, and eggs in a saucepan.
Stir until the first bubble forms and reduce to low heat and add the butter, stir for one more minute.
Remove from the saucepan from heat and divide the batter into three small bowls.
In the small bowl 1, stir in the vanilla extract to make the vanilla pudding.
Then, in the second bowl, mix in the cocoa powder to make the chocolate pudding.
In the last bowl of pudding mix, stir in strawberry jam to make the strawberry pudding.
Let the bowl cool down for about 15 minutes.
Serve the glasses with one layer of chocolate pudding, one layer of strawberry pudding, and one of vanilla pudding. Use cake icing bags
to layer the pudding without making a mess of the glass.
Top with sliced bananas and chocolate syrup or any of the topping listed above.
To set the pudding, cover the glasses and put them to the fridge for 3 hours or more.
Serve and enjoy.
