Ingredients
1 package banana-flavored instant pudding mix
2 cups cold milk
1 1/2 cups whipped topping
2 cups mini golden sandwich cookies
2 ripe bananas, sliced
1/2 cup mini pastel chocolate eggs
2 tablespoons crushed cookies or graham cracker crumbs
Instructions
1. Whisk the banana pudding mix and cold milk in a mixing bowl for about 2 minutes, then let it rest for 5 minutes until thickened.
2. Slice the bananas into even rounds so they layer neatly and evenly in each cup.
3. Spoon a layer of pudding into the bottom of each serving cup.
4. Add a layer of mini golden sandwich cookies over the pudding.
5. Place a layer of banana slices on top of the cookies.
6. Repeat the layers of pudding, cookies, and bananas until the cups are almost full, finishing with a pudding layer on top.
7. Add a generous swirl or spoonful of whipped topping to each cup.
8. Decorate with pastel chocolate eggs, extra banana slices, and a sprinkle of crushed cookies or graham cracker crumbs.
9. Chill the cups in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
Use ripe but firm bananas so the slices stay neat and do not turn mushy in the layers.
Add the final toppings shortly before serving to keep the cookies slightly crisp and the presentation fresh.
For the prettiest layers, use clear cups and pipe the whipped topping instead of spooning it on.
