Matcha Banana Pudding

by Magnolia Bakery

The classic way to serve banana pudding is to layer it in a trifle dish, but you can serve it in pretty much whatever you want! Try a mason jar for a personal sized portion, a large bowl, or even a baking dish.

Ingredients

14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
1.5 cups ice cold water
3.4-ounce package instant vanilla pudding mix
3 tablespoons Culinary Grade Matcha, sifted
3 cups heavy cream
11-ounce box vanilla wafers, roughly crushed up
4-5 ripe bananas, sliced

Directions

Whisk together the cold water and sweetened condensed milk in a medium-sized bowl. In a separate bowl, add pudding mix and sifted matcha. Slowly whisk in the liquid mixture, until it is smooth and lump-free. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour until firm, or leave overnight.
Whip the heavy cream until it thickens, and stiff peaks form.
Using a rubber spatula, fold the whipped cream into the pudding mixture. Mix until well combined, and no streaks remain.
In serving dish of your choice, spread one-quarter of the pudding over the bottom and place a layer with one-third of the crushed up cookies and 1 of the sliced bananas to cover the layer. Continue the process until complete, ending with one final layer of pudding and a garnish of the remaining cookies.
Cover the dish and refrigerate until chilled and cookies soften a little bit.

Creamy, dreamy, and perfectly balanced—matcha banana pudding is pure indulgent bliss!

The matcha banana pudding tasted oddly bitter and mushy, with an unappealing texture and overpowering matcha flavor that completely masked the banana. Definitely disappointing overall.

The matcha banana pudding was delightfully smooth and flavorful, blending earthy matcha with sweet banana perfectly. A unique, refreshing dessert that’s both comforting and elegantly balanced.
