Banana Pudding Cups are a classic, comforting dessert transformed into perfectly portioned individual servings. Inspired by traditional Southern banana pudding, these cups deliver layers of creamy vanilla pudding, fresh ripe bananas, and soft vanilla wafers—all without turning on the oven. They’re simple, nostalgic, and incredibly satisfying.
What makes banana pudding cups so popular is their convenience. They’re easy to assemble, require minimal ingredients, and can be made ahead of time, making them ideal for parties, potlucks, holidays, or weeknight desserts. Served in clear cups or jars, they also look beautiful, showing off each delicious layer.
This dessert strikes the perfect balance between creamy and light, sweet but not overpowering. The bananas add natural sweetness, the wafers soften into a cake-like texture, and the pudding brings everything together into one smooth, comforting bite. Whether you grew up eating banana pudding or you’re discovering it for the first time, these cups are guaranteed to become a favorite.
