Sure! Here’s a detailed and easy recipe for Banana Pudding Fluff Salad. It’s a sweet, fluffy dessert that combines banana pudding and whipped cream to create a delicious treat. Perfect for parties, gatherings, or just a simple snack!
Ingredients:
-
1 package (5.1 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
-
1 can (12 oz) sweetened condensed milk
-
1 ½ cups cold milk
-
1 tub (8 oz) whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed
-
2-3 ripe bananas, sliced
-
1 package (8 oz) mini marshmallows
-
½ cup mini chocolate chips (optional, for garnish)
-
1 cup crushed vanilla wafers (optional, for crunch)
Directions:
-
Prepare the Pudding Mixture:
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk. Follow the instructions on the pudding box, typically whisking for about 2 minutes until it thickens.
-
Once thickened, add the sweetened condensed milk and continue to mix until smooth and creamy. The condensed milk will add sweetness and a bit of extra creaminess.
-
-
Add the Whipped Topping:
-
Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping (Cool Whip) into the pudding mixture. Be careful not to deflate the whipped topping—just stir until everything is well combined and smooth.
-
-
Add the Bananas and Marshmallows:
-
Slice the bananas into thin rounds and gently fold them into the pudding mixture.
-
Stir in the mini marshmallows for a soft, chewy texture.
-
-
Optional Add-ins:
-
If you like a little crunch, fold in some crushed vanilla wafers (you can break them up by hand or use a food processor). This will add a bit of texture, like in traditional banana pudding!
-
For a fun twist, you can sprinkle mini chocolate chips on top for added flavor and decoration.
-
-
Chill the Fluff Salad:
-
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the Banana Pudding Fluff Salad for at least 2-3 hours (or overnight if you want it really chilled). The longer it sits, the better the flavors meld together!
-
-
Serve:
-
Before serving, you can top the salad with a few extra banana slices, crushed vanilla wafers, and maybe even more mini chocolate chips for decoration.
-
-
Enjoy!
-
Scoop the fluff salad into bowls or serve it as a side dish to your next meal! It’s cool, creamy, and absolutely delicious!

Tips:
-
Bananas: To prevent the bananas from browning too quickly, you can add a little lemon juice to them before mixing, but it’s optional.
-
Customization: You can add other fruits (like strawberries or blueberries) for a twist, or swap out the mini marshmallows for other sweet additions like coconut flakes.
-
Storage: This salad can be kept in the fridge for up to 3-4 days, but the bananas may soften and turn brown after a while, so it’s best to enjoy it within 2-3 days.
