Description

Old Fashioned Banana Pudding is a timeless, creamy dessert featuring layers of fresh, ripe bananas, plant-based cream, and a natural gelling agent. This easy-to-make treat offers a perfect balance of sweetness and smoothness, ideal for family gatherings or anytime you want a comforting, luscious dessert.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • Fresh bananas: 4 ripe bananas
  • Plant-based cream (plant-based): 2 cups
  • Natural gelling agent: 2 teaspoons
  • Sugar: 3/4 cup
  • Vanilla extract (natural): 1 teaspoon
  • Plant-based vanilla wafers: 2 cups
  • Salt: 1 pinch

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pudding base: Combine the plant-based cream with sugar and vanilla extract (natural) in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly while gently warming, then whisk in the natural gelling agent until fully dissolved to create a thick, smooth pudding base.
  2. Slice the bananas: Peel and thinly slice the fresh bananas carefully to avoid bruising. Place the slices in a bowl and set aside for layering.
  3. Assemble the layers: In a serving dish, start with a layer of plant-based vanilla wafers, spoon a generous portion of the pudding base over the wafers, then add a layer of banana slices. Repeat the layering until the dish is filled, ending with pudding on top.
  4. Chill to set: Cover the assembled pudding and refrigerate for at least 4 hours to allow the natural gelling agent to set the pudding, melding the flavors and achieving the perfect creamy and firm texture.
  5. Garnish and serve: Just before serving, add extra plant-based vanilla wafers or fresh banana slices on top for an inviting presentation.

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas with yellow skin and a few brown spots for natural sweetness and best flavor.
  • Allow the pudding base to cool slightly before layering to prevent soggy wafers.
  • Layer ingredients evenly to maintain balance in every bite.
  • Refrigerate the pudding sufficiently to ensure the right texture and flavor development.
  • Add garnishes just before serving to preserve crisp textures.
