Chick-fil-A Banana Pudding is a creamy, luscious dessert featuring layers of vanilla pudding, fluffy whipped cream mixed with marshmallow fluff, ripe banana slices, and crunchy Nilla Wafers. This no-bake treat mimics the beloved Chick-fil-A classic, perfect for gatherings or a sweet family treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Pudding Mix

  • 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1.5 cups ice-cold water
  • 3.5 oz box instant vanilla pudding mix

Cream Mixture

  • 2.5 cups heavy cream
  • 2/3 cup marshmallow fluff

Layers

  • 5–6 barely ripe large bananas, sliced
  • 1 box Nilla Wafers

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pudding: In a large bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk and ice-cold water until combined. Add the instant vanilla pudding mix and whisk vigorously until there are no lumps. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 4 hours, or until the pudding is fully set.
  2. Make the Whipped Cream Mixture: In a separate large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add the marshmallow fluff, then continue whipping until stiff peaks form, creating a light and fluffy cream mixture.
  3. Combine Pudding and Whipped Cream: Gently fold the whipped cream mixture into the set pudding in increments, carefully mixing to retain as much airiness as possible. Continue folding until the mixture is creamy and evenly blended with minimal streaks.
  4. Assemble the Layers: In a 9×13 inch baking dish or large bowl, layer the bottom with Nilla Wafers. Add a layer of banana slices on top of the wafers, then spread one-third of the cream mixture over the bananas evenly.
  5. Repeat Layers: Repeat the layering process two more times—wafers, bananas, and cream—finishing with a final layer of cream on top.
  6. Decorate and Chill: Optionally, sprinkle Nilla cookie crumbs over the top for garnish. Cover the dessert and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the wafers to soften slightly.

Notes

  • Use barely ripe bananas to ensure they hold their shape and add the perfect sweetness.
  • Chilling the pudding mixture is crucial for setting the right texture in the final dessert.
  • Gently folding the whipped cream into the pudding helps maintain a light, airy texture.
  • Letting the dessert rest in the fridge for several hours improves flavor and softens the wafers.
  • For a firmer texture, assemble and serve the pudding within a day; beyond that, the wafers may become too soft.
