I love banana pudding. I mean, I’m very Southern, after all, which means it’s practically a requirement of my heritage. But here’s my little secret—I’ve never actually made it myself! As much as I adore this creamy, dreamy dessert, I’ve always been too intimidated to try.
Something about getting the pudding texture just right, layering it perfectly and hoping the bananas don’t turn into an unappealing mush has prevented me from trying to DIY the classic treat.
But then, I stumbled across a game-changing recipe from content creator @dzunglewis, and suddenly, banana pudding didn’t seem so scary anymore. In fact, this version is so simple that it might just become a new staple in my kitchen.

♬ original sound - HoneysuckleIf you’ve also been hesitant about making banana pudding, this is the perfect beginner-friendly version. No cooking, no complicated layering, just simple ingredients blended together for a treat that's so good you might just have it as breakfast!
To get started, you'll mix some Greek yogurt with whipped cottage cheese. This gives you that thick, creamy pudding consistency with a boost of protein.
Next, stir in about three tablespoons of instant vanilla pudding mix to sweeten and thicken the mixture. If you want more flavor, you can add vanilla bean paste, but that's optional. A little bit will elevate the flavor, though, giving you a rich vanilla flavor and adding those itty bitty vanilla bean flecks.
Chop up a banana and some vanilla wafers, then fold them into the pudding mix. This gives you those classic banana pudding texture in every bite. Let it sit in the fridge for a bit so that the flavors meld. When you’re ready to serve, transfer to a clean bowl, top with more banana slices and crushed vanilla wafers, and enjoy!

Why This Version is Amazing
Traditional banana pudding involves stovetop custard, lots of layers and waiting overnight. This one? Blend, mix, chill and eat, and that's why it's so amazing!
Plus, thanks to the Greek yogurt and cottage cheese, this isn’t just dessert—it’s a solid breakfast or snack option that’ll keep you full. Adding just a bit of the instant pudding mix gives you just the right amount of sweetness without going overboard.
This pudding is creamy, thick and smooth, but still has the delightful crunch of vanilla wafers and the softness of fresh bananas, and you can prep this ahead of time for a quick grab-and-go treat.

How to Make This Lazy Banana Pudding Your Own
Want to switch things up? There are lots of ways to make this banana pudding uniquely yours.
For example, you can swap vanilla pudding mix for chocolate and add a sprinkle of cocoa powder, or you can stir in a tablespoon of peanut butter for a rich, nutty flavor.
Try a tropical twist by using coconut-flavored yogurt and topping the pudding with toasted coconut flakes. You can also substitute vanilla wafers for crushed Biscoff cookies for a buttery, caramelized flavor.
I’m officially ready to face my fear and make banana pudding at last! Who knew that a childhood favorite could also double as a nutritious breakfast? If you need me, I’ll be in the kitchen, blending my way to banana pudding heaven!
