The Best Strawberry Banana Pudding is a rich and fluffy dessert with layers of whipped cream, sweet strawberries, ripe bananas, and creamy vanilla pudding perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream, chilled
6.8 ounces instant vanilla pudding mix, divided
2 tablespoons confectioners sugar
24 ounces evaporated milk, chilled
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup sour cream
3 cups vanilla wafers, lightly crushed
3 cups sliced bananas (about 4–5 ripe bananas)
5 cups sliced strawberries
1/4 to 1/2 cup strawberry topping, to taste

Instructions

In a large bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream, 1 tablespoon of the vanilla pudding mix, and confectioners sugar until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
In another large bowl, whisk together the remaining pudding mix, evaporated milk, and vanilla extract until fully combined. Let sit for about 5 minutes until thickened, then fold in the sour cream.
In a trifle bowl or 9×13-inch dish, begin layering: add half of the vanilla wafers and sliced bananas.
Spread one-third of the pudding mixture over the layer.
Add half of the sliced strawberries and drizzle half of the strawberry topping.
Add another one-third of the pudding mixture.
Layer the remaining vanilla wafers and bananas, then top with the remaining pudding.
Spread a layer of whipped cream over the top (reserve some for garnish if desired).
Finish with remaining strawberries and strawberry topping.
Garnish with extra whipped cream or crushed wafers if desired.
Serve immediately or chill slightly before serving.

Notes

Best served fresh, but can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.
Use ripe but firm bananas to prevent mushiness.
Add bananas just before assembling to avoid browning.
Can be made in a 9×13-inch dish if a trifle bowl is not available.
For extra flavor, use homemade whipped cream and fresh strawberry sauce.
