Tips & Variations

  • Can use fresh or frozen bananas. If using fresh make sure they are ripe.
  • Make it dairy free by swapping out milk for almond or coconut milk.
  • Can use graham crackers in place of vanilla wafers.
  • If you want less banana flavor, use vanilla instant pudding mix instead of banana cream.
  • Serve over ice to prevent melting.
  • Store remaining leftovers in the freezer either kept in mold or put in baggies.

What You’ll Need

  • Milk – whole milk will make it more creamy however 2% will also work.
  • Banana cream pudding – instant pudding mix or homemade.
  • Vanilla wafers – any brand will work; Nilla or store brand.
  • Banana – fresh is best but can also use frozen.

For this recipe you will also need a popsicle mold. This silicone popsicle mold is my favorite as it’s easy to get them out but any popsicle mold will work also.

How to Make Banana Pudding Popsicles

  1. Add 3 cups milk and banana cream pudding mix into a large bowl. Whisk together for about 2 minutes. Set aside to allow to thicken.
  2. Place vanilla wafers into a ziplock bag. Get air out of bag, seal and crush wafers using a mallet or rolling pin.
  3. Slice banana into thin slices. Evenly place slices of banana into each mold. Fill the remainder of the mold with banana pudding mixture. Shake the mold to loosen any bubbles.
  4. Insert popsicle sticks and add vanilla wafer crumbs at the bottom of each mold. Gently press them down into the pudding so they stay when frozen.
  5. Freeze until solid for about 6-8 hours. Serve cold!
