A Southern classic, banana pudding is the no-bake dessert we turn to time and time again. With layers of vanilla pudding, bananas, wafer cookies, and whipped cream, this easy dessert is a fan-favorite for very good reason. While we'll always adore the classic, we also can’t get enough of turning the delicious flavor combination into other crowd-pleasing desserts, from cheesecake to cookies to dessert lasagna. But, when we’re craving the staple dessert in the summer, these banana pudding pops are the bite-sized treat we turn to. A simple frozen dessert, these refreshing pops couldn't be easier to make. With only 15 minutes of prep, the hardest thing about this recipe is waiting for them to chill—we guarantee it. 😉
Because of their relatively long chilling time, these pops are a perfect dessert to make ahead the day before, then serve at your summer bash the next day. Once made, these pudding pops will need to be frozen for at least 5 hours, but can chill overnight if needed.
