Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, washed, hulled, and sliced
  • 2 ripe bananas, peeled and sliced
  • 1 package (3.4 oz) vanilla instant pudding mix
  • 2 cups cold milk

Optional Toppings

  • Whipped cream, for topping
  • Graham cracker crumbs, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pudding: Mix the vanilla pudding powder with cold milk according to the package instructions, whisking well until thick and smooth. Set aside to chill while prepping the fruit.
  2. Slice the Fruit: Wash and hull the strawberries, then slice them into bite-size pieces. Peel the bananas and slice them evenly to ensure balanced fruit portions in every spoonful.
  3. Combine the Ingredients: Gently fold the strawberry and banana slices into the chilled pudding. Be careful to avoid mashing the fruit to keep its fresh texture.
  4. Chill the Pudding: Transfer the mixture to a serving dish or individual cups, then refrigerate for at least one hour to allow flavors to meld and the pudding to firm up.
  5. Optional Toppings: Before serving, top your pudding with whipped cream and a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs for added flavor and crunch.

Notes

  • Use fresh, ripe fruit for the best sweetness and texture.
  • Chill the pudding before serving to allow it to thicken and flavors to concentrate.
  • Slice fruit evenly for a balanced texture and easy scooping.
  • Whisk pudding thoroughly to avoid lumps and achieve a smooth consistency.
  • Add crunchy toppings just before serving to prevent sogginess.
