Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas, sliced
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 cup whipped topping
- 1 cup vanilla pudding mix
- 1/2 cup crushed pineapple, drained
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 3 ripe bananas, 1 cup of mini marshmallows, 1 cup of whipped topping, 1 cup of vanilla pudding mix, and 1/2 cup of drained crushed pineapple.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the vanilla pudding mix with 2 cups of cold milk. Whisk the mixture until it is smooth and thickened, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Once the pudding has thickened, gently fold in the whipped topping using a spatula. This will create a creamy base for your salad.
- Add the sliced bananas to the pudding and whipped topping mixture. Be careful to mix gently to avoid mashing the bananas.
- Next, fold in the mini marshmallows and the drained crushed pineapple. Ensure everything is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Once all ingredients are combined, cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- After chilling, give the salad a gentle stir before serving. This will help to reintroduce any ingredients that may have settled.
- Serve the Banana Cream Fluff Salad in individual bowls or a large serving dish. Enjoy this light and refreshing dessert salad with family and friends!
Tips
- Choose perfectly ripe bananas with just the right amount of softness to ensure maximum flavor and creamy texture.
- Chill all ingredients beforehand for a more refreshing and cohesive dessert.
- Use instant vanilla pudding mix for the quickest preparation, but homemade pudding works wonderfully too.
- Gently fold ingredients to maintain the light, fluffy texture of the salad.
- For extra pizzazz, consider adding a sprinkle of toasted coconut or chopped nuts on top before serving.
- This dessert is best served cold, so refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving for optimal taste and consistency.
- Can be prepared up to a day in advance, making it perfect for potlucks and gatherings!
