BANANAS & CREAM DECADENT DESSERT – A light and fluffy dessert, layered with sliced bananas and indulgent vanilla pudding, all sandwiched between crispy butter cookies.

It’s finally Spring-time, and I can’t help but share one of my most favorite desserts… Bananas & Cream Decadent Dessert. There’s just something wonderful about enjoying a light and fluffy treat once the days are noticeably longer and the weather is warmer.

Bananas & Cream Decadent Dessert is an absolute classic recipe in my home. It’s requested often for birthdays, social gatherings and even Christmas celebrations. I especially love that it’s quick and easy to make!

The butter cookies make the dessert really inviting. Pepperidge Farm even puts out a few different themes throughout the year. Very festive. My favorite is the Spring shapes version.

If you generally have oat or almond milk on hand, don’t bother buying cows milk just for this recipe. Oat and almond milk work just as well, you’ll just want to reduce the amount of milk to 1 1/4 cups.
