Did you know that November was National Banana Pudding month? This Detroit-style vegan banana pudding recipe layers sweet vanilla pudding with fresh banana, wafer biscuits, and dairy-free whipped cream. With just eight ingredients and about and hour of prep time, this delicious dessert will surely impress even the pickiest kids or relatives.
Recently BLAC posted my recipe for Crusty Peach Cobbler – with other vegan holiday dessert like this vegan banana pudding in mind. The taste and feel and stomach yumminess is everything you remember about the classic dish, minus all the dairy, eggs, and of couse, gluten.

The Easiest Vegan Banana Pudding Ever
Ingredients
- 5-7 Bananas Barely Ripe
- 2 Boxes Vegan Vanilla Wafers
- 1 Box Instant Vanilla Pudding
- 2 Cans Chilled Coconut Whipping Cream
- Almond Milk/Soy Milk Non-Diary Milk
- Hand Mixer or Kitchen Aid
- Glass Dish or Trifle Dish
- Powdered Sugar
Instructions
- Chill the Coconut whipping cream and the almond or soy milk overnight (or at least4-6 hours saints).
- Ok, in a large bowl make your whipping cream, spoon out the chilled coconut whipping cream, leave the liquid ( you may need it later).
- Use a hand blender or kitchen aid to whip the whipping cream, keep the party going and whip on.
- If it doesn't get as light and fluffy as you would like….. sift in a bit of powdered sugar and if it's toooo clunky… add some of that left over liquid in the can.
- Once you are done with that place it in the fridge to chill while you make the pudding.
- Make the pudding (just like the box tells you…, but use dairy free milk).
- Now combine the pudding and whipped cream!!!!!!
- !You should probably take a vanilla wafer… and dip it to give it a taste (I mean…just to make sure it tastes amazing lol).
- Then in our glass pan we are going to start layering it up in your dish, layer the entire bottom of your dish with vanilla wafers filling.
- Then you are going to add an entire layer of bananas.
- Next a layer of our delicious creme filling repeat cookies, bananas, & cream until you reach the top of your pan.
- Use a spoon to make waves in your top layer if it's creme… (hopefully it is) and then crush some vanilla wafers on top… if you want to be super fancy… stick some whole cookies in there too..
- Let it chill for to 6 hours.
- No longer because your bananas will start turning.
- So once it chills… plate it and let's eat fam!!!!!
