Description

This Christmas Strawberry Banana Pudding is a delightful no-bake dessert layered with creamy vanilla pudding, fresh bananas, sweet strawberries, and soft vanilla wafers. It’s light, fruity, and beautifully festive with its red, white, and yellow layers—making it a perfect holiday dessert for family gatherings, Christmas dinners, or potlucks.

Ingredients

  • 2 (3.4 oz) boxes instant vanilla pudding mix

  • 3 cups cold milk

  • 1 (8 oz) container whipped topping (Cool Whip), thawed

  • 4–5 ripe bananas, sliced

  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

  • 1 (11 oz) box vanilla wafers

  • Optional garnish: crushed candy canes, white chocolate shavings, or fresh strawberries

Preparation

  1. Prepare the Pudding
    In a large mixing bowl, whisk the instant vanilla pudding mix with cold milk for about 2 minutes until thickened.

  2. Fold in Whipped Topping
    Gently fold in half of the whipped topping to create a light, creamy pudding mixture. Set aside.

  3. Layer the Dessert
    In a trifle dish or large glass bowl, begin layering:

    • A layer of vanilla wafers

    • A layer of sliced bananas

    • A layer of sliced strawberries

    • A layer of pudding mixture

  4. Repeat Layers
    Continue layering until all ingredients are used, ending with a pudding layer on top.

  5. Top and Decorate
    Spread the remaining whipped topping over the top. Garnish with strawberries, crushed vanilla wafers, or festive Christmas toppings if desired.

  6. Chill
    Cover and refrigerate for at least 2–3 hours (or overnight) to allow flavors to blend and wafers to soften.

Serving Tip

Serve chilled and enjoy a refreshing, creamy dessert that brings a festive holiday twist to classic banana pudding
