What is a walking dessert?
Walking desserts are the sweet version of walking tacos.
It refers to any dessert served in a bag of cookies or graham crackers that you eat with a spoon and can walk around with.
Ingredients
To make these you’ll need:
- Nilla Wafers– Get the 1 ounce bags of mini Nilla Wafers. They need to be the individual serving bags or this recipe won’t work.
- Banana cream pie pudding cup– Just one split between two desserts.
- Banana– Sliced into about 10 slices
- Whipped topping
How to Make
This walking banana pudding dessert is so easy to make!
Just cut off the top edge of the bags of Nilla Wafers.
Then take four cookies out of each bag and set them aside to use later as garnish.
Open the pudding cup and give it a stir.
Spoon half of the pudding cup into each bag of Nilla wafers right on top of the cookies.
Top the pudding with fresh banana slices.
Then add a dollop of whipped topping on top of the bananas.
Top each bag with two slices of banana and three cookies.
Crumble the last cookie from each bag out over top of each dessert to garnish it.
Serve with a spoon and enjoy!
Storing
I don’t recommend storing these for longer than an hour after you make them in the fridge.
Because these are individual dessert servings, only make what you think you will need.
Tips and Tricks
- If you want the cookies to be crunchy when you serve this dessert, serve and enjoy them right after you assemble them.
- For a more authentic banana pudding experience, assemble them an hour prior to serving and refrigerate them to let the cookies get soft.
- Can’t find cups of banana pudding? Make the instant pudding from a box instead.
- Adjust the amount of the bananas and whipped cream to suit your tastes.
- If you are feeding a crowd and using the 12 pack of mini Nilla Wafers, you’ll need 6 pudding cups, 6 bananas, and a 16 ounce container of whipped topping to use all the bags up.
