Banana Pudding (Vegan)
What is not to love about banana pudding - a sweet, creamy, pudding filled delight. This is my plant-based take on the nostalgic southern dessert. It is rich, creamy, and decadent- it features a lush, homemade vanilla pudding, sweet, crisp, homemade vanilla wafers and a light, fluffy whipped cream topping. To make things easy, the pudding and wafers can be prepared ahead time making the day of assembly easier. This dessert is easy, delicious and 100% plant-based.

- Have your vanilla pudding, vanilla wafers and sliced bananas ready and waiting for assembly.
- To make the whipped cream: In the bowl of a stand mixer add the heavy cream, cream of tartar and vanilla extract. With a balloon whisk attachment, whip the ingredients on high until soft peaks are achieved. This will take about 3 minutes.
- Once soft peaks are achieved, add the powdered sugar and continue whipping on high for another minute.
- Divide the pudding into 2 servings of one cup each. To each serving of pudding, fold in 1/4th of the whipped cream.
- To assemble the banana pudding: I used an oval ceramic dish (8x11x2), equivalent to an 8x8x2 square dish/pan.
- Start by lining the bottom of the dish with the vanilla wafers. I used 16 to 20 cookies.
- Spoon a layer of vanilla pudding (one of the two servings combined with the whipped cream) over the cookie layer. Make sure to spread it out evenly and completely cover the cookie layer.
- Place a layer of sliced bananas over the top of the pudding layer (half of the sliced bananas).
- Place another 16 to 20 cookies on top of the banana layer.
- Spoon the second serving of pudding, combined with the whipped cream, over the cookie layer.
- Place the rest of the sliced bananas over the pudding layer.
- The rest of the whipped cream is dolloped on top of the dessert along with a sprinkling of crushed vanilla wafers pieces.
- Place the dessert in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours to set.
- Store the banana pudding in the refrigerator covered.
