Equipment
- serving cups, bowl, or dish I like to split a 1x batch into a large trifle dish or in multiple mason jars/cups!
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole milk cold (if swapping in plant-based milk, use half the amount or it will not set!!!)
- 1 ounce packet Jell-O Instant Vanilla Pudding
- ½ - 1 cup ube halaya adjust to taste
- 1 teaspoon ube extract
- 8 ounces Cool Whip thawed
- pinch of salt optional
- 4-5 large bananas sliced
- 1 box Nilla wafers* you may not need all of them; can swap wafers for your favorite cookie!
Instructions
Make the pudding:
- In a large mixing bowl, add 2 cups whole milk (cold) and 1 ounce packet Jell-O Instant Vanilla Pudding. Whisk until combined and let sit for about 5 minutes to thicken.
- Mix in ½ - 1 cup ube halaya and 1 teaspoon ube extract until fully combined. Fold in 8 ounces Cool Whip until smooth. Taste and add pinch of salt or more ube extract/jam as needed.
Assemble the banana pudding:
- In your serving container(s), add a layer of wafers, top with sliced bananas, and then spread an even layer of the ube pudding. Repeat until you use all of your ingredients, with the top layer ending in pudding.
- Add crushed wafers on top. Cover and chill in the fridge for at least 3 hours before eating, so all the flavors meld nicely. Serve chilled and enjoy!

Notes
*I used coconut wafers in the video, but recommend Nilla cookies :)
Variations and substitions:
If you want to try a different flavor, swap out the wafers for other cookies, like graham crackers, Oreos, or chocolate chip cookies.
For the toppings, you can use roasted crushed nuts, whipped cream, etc.
Storage instructions:
Cover and store leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days.
