Ingredients

Scale

Core Ingredients

  • 2 to 3 ripe bananas, peeled
  • 1 package (approx. 3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 2 cups milk (or almond milk for dairy-free option)
  • 1 cup whipped cream or Cool Whip (coconut whipped cream for dairy-free option)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Ingredients

  • Honey or powdered sugar, to adjust sweetness
  • Peanut butter (for swirl)
  • Chocolate protein powder (for protein boost)
  • Crushed nuts or granola (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Mash the Bananas

    Peel 2 to 3 ripe bananas and mash them in a medium bowl until smooth but still slightly chunky to provide natural sweetness and creaminess.

  2. Step 2: Prepare the Chocolate Pudding

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and 2 cups of milk according to package instructions. Let it thicken for about 5 minutes until custard-like consistency forms.

  3. Step 3: Combine Bananas and Pudding

    Gently fold the mashed bananas into the thickened pudding, distributing the banana chunks evenly for texture and flavor balance.

  4. Step 4: Add Whipped Cream

    Fold in 1 cup of whipped cream or Cool Whip carefully to lighten the mixture and achieve a fluffy, mousse-like texture without deflating it.

  5. Step 5: Add Vanilla and Sweeten

    Mix in 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract and adjust sweetness by adding honey or powdered sugar if desired. Stir gently once more.

  6. Step 6: Chill Before Serving

    Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and the fluff’s texture to set perfectly.

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas for optimal sweetness and flavor.
  • Fold whipped cream gently to maintain airiness.
  • Chill sufficiently to enhance texture and flavor blending.
  • Choose a high-quality instant chocolate pudding mix for best results.
  • Vanilla extract significantly enhances the flavor profile.
  • Make dairy-free substitutions easily by using almond milk and coconut whipped cream.
  • To add a nutty twist, fold in peanut butter.

  • Top with crushed nuts or granola for added crunch.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container refrigerated for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze for up to 1 month; thaw overnight and fold gently before serving.
  • Best served cold or at room temperature; reheating is not recommended.
