Description
A no‑bake, fluffy dessert that channels all the fun of a banana split—banana, pineapple, whipped topping, and optional mix‑ins—for a light, playful treat.
Ingredients
- 1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple in juice — do not drain
- 1 box (3.4 oz) banana cream instant pudding mix
- 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping (thawed)
- Optional: banana slices, chocolate chips, chopped nuts, maraschino cherries, mini marshmallows
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, pour in the crushed pineapple with its juice.
- Sprinkle the banana cream instant pudding mix over the pineapple and stir until the powder is completely dissolved and the mixture begins to thicken.
- Fold in the whipped topping gently with a spatula so the mixture stays light and fluffy.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or longer) to let it chill and set.
- Spoon into serving dishes, and if desired top with banana slices, chocolate chips, chopped nuts or maraschino cherries just before serving.
Notes
- Add fresh banana slices just before serving to keep them from browning.
- Stir in mini marshmallows or chopped nuts for extra texture.
- Swap in a vanilla or coconut‑cream instant pudding mix for a flavour twist.
- Use lightly sweetened whipped cream instead of the store‑bought topping for a more homemade feel.
