Recipes Using Jello Banana Cream Pudding

This ain’t your grandma’s banana pudding! These banana pudding shots are a boozy version of the classic dessert: sweet, creamy, with a kick!

Banana pudding is one of my all time desserts! These banana pudding shots take all of the things you love about banana pudding…and take it up a notch by adding vodka! (Oh yes, this is not your grandma’s banana pudding recipe!)

As far as jello shots go, these are one of the easiest recipes you’ll find because you don’t have to cook anything on a stovetop! Just whisk together the 3 ingredients, pour into your shot glasses, and chill! That’s about as easy as mixing up a regular cocktail!

The Best Non Bake Banana Pudding

Then when they’ve chilled, we topped our banana pudding shots with all of the proper fixins’ — whipped cream and Nilla Wafers. It’s the perfect combination of banana flavors, fluffy whipped topping, and crunchy cookies. And a little something extra of course!

This recipe is super easy! However, you will need at least 2 hours of chill time for your shots to firm up in the fridge, so be sure to plan ahead!

TIP: If you want to add even more fun touches to this recipe, try topping with one banana slice and cookie crumbles too!

No Bake Banana Cream Pudding

Instead, make your pudding shots and put a lid on each cup. Place on a baking sheet in the fridge to chill until it’s party time.

It depends on your shot glasses and how much you fill them with, but generally this recipe yields about 12 individual servings. This recipe is intended for readers 21+; please enjoy responsibly.

If vodka is not your thing, rum could also work well for this recipe. I would recommend using a coconut rum, such as Malibu for a flavorful treat. Simply swap 1 cup rum for the 1 cup of vodka in the recipe.

If you don’t have banana pudding, you could use vanilla pudding or even white chocolate pudding and add a teaspoon of banana extract to get that banana flavor. Or you could use 3/4 cup vodka and 1/4 cup Creme de Banana liquor.

Put banana slices in a bowl. Drizzle lemon juice over the slices. This helps prevent the bananas from turning brown and will keep them moist so they don’t dry out. Before adding them to the pie, pat the slices dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.

In addition to sliced bananas, drizzle the top of the firmly chilled pie with chocolate syrup. If desired, sprinkle the top with sliced almonds.

Yellow gel food coloring: I don’t use any food coloring for my banana pudding pies. However, I know that some bakers do. So if you’d like to gently deepen the color of the filling, add the tiniest bit of yellow gel food coloring (not liquid food coloring) when folding in the Cool Whip.
