Description
A light and creamy Chocolate Banana Pudding Fluff combining whipped heavy cream, marshmallow crème, ripe bananas, and crunchy vanilla wafers for a delightful no-bake dessert that’s quick to prepare and perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
Fluff Base
- 1 cup cold heavy cream
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup marshmallow crème (e.g. Marshmallow Fluff)
Mix-ins and Garnish
- 2 medium ripe bananas, diced (~1¼ cups), plus extra slices for garnish
- 16 vanilla wafer cookies, coarsely crushed (~1 cup), plus extra for garnish
Instructions
- Whip Cream: Whip the cold heavy cream together with powdered sugar and vanilla extract using a mixer until soft peaks form. This creates a light, airy base for the fluff.
- Fold in Marshmallow Crème: Gently fold the marshmallow crème into the whipped cream mixture until just combined, preserving the fluffiness.
- Add Bananas and Wafers: Stir in the diced ripe bananas and crushed vanilla wafer cookies evenly throughout the mixture to add texture and flavor.
- Chill: Refrigerate the pudding fluff for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and the vanilla wafers to soften slightly, enhancing the dessert’s creaminess.
- Serve: Spoon the fluff into individual bowls or parfait glasses and garnish with extra banana slices and vanilla wafer pieces for an appealing presentation.
Notes
- Use ripe bananas for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
- Ensure heavy cream is cold to whip properly and achieve the right texture.
- Refrigeration time can be extended up to 1 hour if desired for softer wafers.
- Can be made a few hours ahead and kept chilled until serving.
- For a chocolate twist, consider adding a teaspoon of cocoa powder or layering with chocolate chips.
