Perfect little desserts to delight your friends or family, these banana pudding jars are a sweet treat that's simple to make!

Main Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp. - dark brown sugar
  • 1 Tbsp. - fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tsp. - vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp. or ¼ tsp. - Diamond Crystal or Morton kosher salt
  • 5 - medium ripe bananas (peeled)
  • 1 3.4-oz. box - instant vanilla pudding
  • 2 cups - whole milk
  • 1 8-oz. package - cream cheese (room temperature)
  • 1 7-oz. package - Marie biscuits
  • for serving - whipped cream
  • Eight - glass jars with lids (6-oz. or larger)
  1. Step 1 In a medium bowl, stir together dark brown sugar, fresh lemon juice, vanilla extract, and kosher salt until the sugar and salt are dissolved.
  2. Step 2 Slice the bananas lengthwise into quarters, then cut into ¼-inch pieces. Add the banana chunks to the bowl and gently toss to make sure they're completely coated. Set aside.
  3. Step 3 In a mixing bowl, beat the instant vanilla pudding mix and whole milk on medium speed for about 3 minutes until well combined. Gradually add the room-temperature cream cheese, about 2 oz. at a time, and mix until smooth, about 4 minutes.
  4. Step 4 Transfer the pudding mixture to a large piping bag or a resealable plastic bag with a corner snipped off.
  5. Step 5 Arrange the glass jars on the counter. Spoon 1 Tbsp. of the banana mixture into each jar. Pipe a thin layer of pudding on top, followed by a whole Marie biscuit (break if necessary to fit).
  6. Step 6 Continue layering with banana mixture, pudding, and biscuits until the jars are full, ending with a layer of pudding. Crush any remaining biscuits for topping and set them aside.
  7. Step 7 Cover the jars with lids and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
  8. Step 8 When it's time to serve, uncover the jars, top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of the reserved crushed biscuits. Enjoy!
