Party Strawberry Banana Dessert
This is one of those desserts I adapt often because it travels well and always disappears fast—proof that crowd-friendly recipes really matter.
Equipment
- Large serving dish
Ingredients
For Assembly
- 1 package Vanilla cake cubes Store-bought or homemade
- 3 cups Banana slices
- 2 cups Strawberry slices
- 1 box (about 5.1 oz) Vanilla pudding mix Prepared according to package directions
- 1 container (8 oz) Whipped cream For topping
Instructions
- Prepare the vanilla pudding according to the package directions and set it aside to cool slightly.
- In your large serving dish, create the first layer by spreading half of the vanilla cake cubes across the bottom.
- Top the cake layer with half of the banana slices, half of the strawberry slices, and half of the prepared vanilla pudding.
- Repeat the layering process: remaining cake cubes, remaining bananas, remaining strawberries, and remaining pudding.
- Spread the whipped cream evenly over the top layer to finish the dessert.
- Cover the dish and chill the dessert for at least 2 hours before serving. This allows the cake to absorb moisture from the pudding.
Notes
This dessert travels well, making it a good choice for potlucks or gatherings. Assemble it the day before for the best texture.
