This Strawberry Crunch Banana Pudding is a dreamy, no-bake dessert featuring layers of creamy banana pudding, fresh strawberries, and a crunchy golden cookie topping. Perfect for warm days or a quick treat, it combines smooth banana pudding with juicy strawberries and a crispy topping for the ultimate dessert that’s easy to make and delicious.


Ingredients

1 (3.4 oz) box instant banana pudding mix

2 cups cold milk

1 (8 oz) container whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed

1 cup sliced fresh strawberries

2 bananas, sliced

1 cup vanilla wafers, crushed

1/2 cup freeze-dried strawberries, crushed

2 tablespoons butter, melted

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional: extra strawberries and banana slices for garnish


Instructions

  1. Whisk the banana pudding mix and cold milk in a mixing bowl for 2 minutes until the mixture thickens.

  2. Fold in the whipped topping and vanilla extract until fully combined.

  3. In a separate bowl, mix the crushed vanilla wafers, freeze-dried strawberries, and melted butter. Stir to coat evenly.

  4. In a 9×9-inch dish or individual cups, layer half of the banana pudding, followed by a layer of sliced bananas and fresh strawberries.

  5. Sprinkle half of the strawberry crunch topping over the fruit.

  6. Repeat with the remaining pudding, fruit, and topping.

  7. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

  8. Before serving, garnish with extra fresh strawberries and banana slices, if desired.

Notes

You can substitute vanilla wafers with graham crackers for a different flavor.

Add chopped nuts like pecans or almonds to the crunch topping for extra texture.

For a tropical twist, layer in diced pineapple or coconut with the fruit.
