Ingredients:

To make these individual vanilla pudding cups, you’ll need: vanilla pudding powder mix, full-fat milk, and sugar to mix with the pudding, Lotus biscuits, banana, milk chocolate, and heavy cream;

Here are a few Individual banana pudding cups tips and tricks!

  1. To get the creamiest pudding without any lumps, don’t forget to cover it with plastic wrap once it’s cooked and still hot. This way, it wouldn’t form a skin on top, which can further create lumps.
  2. Also, bananas tend to turn brown once they are cut into slices. To avoid that, drizzle a bit of lemon over the sliced bananas ( I promise you won’t feel the lemon once they absorb it).
  3. Let the pudding cups sit once everything is in the cups so the ground biscuits can soften and the pudding sets.

A Few FAQs

How to make 2-ingredient chocolate ganache?

I like to prepare this chocolate ganache for everything, not just this banana pudding; it stays creamy and has the best taste that I’ve ever tried in chocolate ganache! Also, the better chocolate you use, the better the ganache.
The ratio is always the same 1×1, meaning 1 if you use 100g of chocolate, you’ll need 100g of heavy cream; it cannot get easier than this. To make it, add the same amount of chocolate and whipping cream in a medium bowl. Next, add the bowl to the microwave for 20 seconds, and whisk until everything is incorporated.

How to store leftover banana pudding cups? How long will they last?

You can store your leftovers in a fridge covered with plastic wrap. And they will stay fresh for up to 2 days. Note: mix the bananas with some lemon juice. This way, they won’t go brown and will last in the fridge for up to 3 days.
