Ingredients
Scale
Whipped Cream Mixture
- 1 cup cold heavy cream
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Fluff & Mix-ins
- ½ cup marshmallow crème (e.g. Marshmallow Fluff)
- 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: In a large bowl, whip the cold heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract using a mixer until soft peaks form, creating a light and airy base.
- Fold in Marshmallow Crème: Gently fold the marshmallow crème into the whipped cream mixture until just combined, maintaining the fluffiness.
- Add Bananas and Wafers: Stir in the diced ripe bananas and coarsely crushed vanilla wafer cookies evenly throughout the mixture to add texture and sweetness.
- Chill: Refrigerate the pudding fluff for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together and the cookies to soften slightly for a creamy consistency.
- Serve: Spoon the pudding into individual bowls or parfait glasses and garnish with extra banana slices and additional crushed vanilla wafers for an appealing presentation.
Notes
- Use very cold heavy cream for better whipping results.
- Ensure bananas are ripe for maximum sweetness and flavor.
- Chilling the fluff helps the vanilla wafers soften and meld with the creamy pudding.
- This dessert is best enjoyed within 24 hours for optimal freshness.
- Gluten-free vanilla wafers can be used to accommodate gluten sensitivities.
