Let's Make Quick Easy Banana Mousse in Cups
Thickly whipped up banana pudding tastes like a mousse. Perfect individual cups are great for single-serve dessert, portion control, no-bake, great party, camping, and perfect for beach days.
Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 5 oz pkg package instant banana pudding mix, or vanilla pudding mix
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream (additional for topping) divided 1 cup for pudding, 1 cup for topping
- 1 cup milk I use whole milk
- 1 11 oz. box, mini Nilla wafers cookies
- 2 bananas, additional bananas can be added
Whipped cream topping
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, with an electric mixer, beat heavy cream, milk, and banana pudding mix, starting on low, increasing to high until everything is whipped up smooth and fluffy. About 2-3 minutes.
- Place each serving in a 5 oz cup. Add 3 cookies to the bottom of the cups, add 2-3 tablespoons of pudding, then repeat. (add additional bananas in each layer if desired)
- Add a few slices of fresh sliced bananas pieces.
- For whipped cream: In another medium bowl (or wash and rinse the bowl with cold water so the cream whips easily), add 1 cup heavy cream, and add the vanilla, and powdered sugar. Whip on high until medium peaks form.
- Top each dessert with whipped cream, top with 1 more cookie.
- Place in fridge for 30 minutes to overnight. If preparing the day ahead, place lids on top and refrigerate.
