    Banana's Foster Banana Pudding

    Jump to Recipe Jump to Video Print Recipe

    This Banana's Foster Banana Pudding, for lack of a better name, is a mashup of Banana's Foster, Banana Cheesecake, and Banana Pudding. My only other favorite dessert is German Chocolate Cake; I didn't see how that would fit into the equation.

    Bananas Foster Banana Pudding served elegantly in a wine glass.

    Why You'll Love This Recipe

    Bananas Foster in itself is a reason to love anything, but the layers of cheesecake-like crust, combined with the flavors of banana pudding and Bananas Foster, bring this whole dessert together. It's very easy to make and is an impressive dessert to serve layered in wine glasses.

    Ingredients

    Crust: Graham Crackers, White Sugar, and Salted butter.

    Pudding: Instant Banana Pudding Mix, Cold Milk, and Cream Cheese.

    Whipped Cream: Heavy Whipping Cream, Powdered Sugar, and Vanilla Extract.

    Bananas Foster: Butter, Dark Brown Sugar, Banana Liqueur, Vanilla Extract, Ground Cinnamon, Bananas, and Walnuts.

    See the recipe card below for full information on ingredients and quantities.

    Step-by-Step Instructions

    Banana Pudding

    The banana pudding is extremely easy. This is as simple as following the directions on the package but with a twist. This is where I incorporate a cheesecake-like flavor for the filling. Adding cream cheese to the pudding creates an excellent cheesecake-like flavor and texture.

    I did things a little backward originally, though, and when I make this in the future, I would change it around. The first time I made this, I added the cream cheese to the pudding later. Next time, I will add softened cream cheese to the pudding and, using a stand or hand mixer, will mix the two together.

    Cheesecake Graham Cracker Crust

    The crust is very simple and versatile. Made of crushed graham crackers, butter, and sugar, then baked in a pan for about 6 minutes at 350°. Break it apart to use in the wine glasses. Keep this recipe in your back pocket, though; it can be used for many different desserts!

    Homemade Whipped Cream

    There is something to say about homemade whipped cream. Not only can I completely control the thickness and consistency, but the flavor is out of this world. It is so much better than store-bought, not to mention you know exactly what's in it! It's a simple mixture of sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract, whipped with a stand or hand mixer. The faster and longer you whip it (whip it good), the stiffer the peaks. For this recipe, I recommend a fast whip for about 4 minutes.

    Banana's Foster

    Banana's Foster has always been one of my favorite desserts. There is something so warm and comforting about the flavor that mixing it with a cheesecake crust and banana pudding just sounded natural. Banana's Foster is made of butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, walnuts, typically Rum, and, as the name would suggest, bananas. Instead of using Rum in this recipe, I opted for a banana Liqueur, and it turned out fantastic! It may sound too banana-y, but I certainly didn't think it was.

    Assembly

    Once I had everything made, I assembled them in wine glasses, and we were good to go. There's no particular order that's better than another. So have fun with it, and you do you!

        Hi Nicole, thank you for reaching out. You could leave it out all together if you wanted or go more traditional and use rum.

      Could I make this in the morning and serve in the evening? Would the bananas hold up ok? And can it be assembled ahead of time?
      Thanks,

        Hi Patty! Yes this would be perfectly fine made and assembled in the morning and the bananas will hold up just fine. I just recommend covering the dishes with som plastic wrap in the fridge until ready to serve.

        I would love to make this the morning of but then heat it up a bit to make the bananas foster more appealing. I wonder if I could zap them for a few seconds prior to serving!

          I don't personally think this would work well with the whipped cream, but you could always give it a try. The other option could be to layer this differently than I did though. So you could keep the bananas foster separate and then heat it up just before serving, adding it to each glass.

        Hi Toni! Thank you so much for pointing this out to me. I meant to say melted butter. Not too sure why it said egg as there is no egg in the crust. I've got it all fixed up.

      I want to try this recipe out today. Question though. Do I use the brown sugar or not? You have it in the video but it’s scratched through on the recipe. And I’ve never seen banana liquor. Is that sold in the grocery store or liquor store?

        Hi Nicole! Thank you so much for reaching out. Yes, definitely use the Brown Sugar. The ingredients in the recipe card can be scratched out as you shop, so it may have accidentally been hit. I actually do that all the time when looking through my own recipes. Depending on where you live, the Banana Liquor could be sold at a grocery store but will most likely be easiest to find at the liquor store.
