Servings: 4 generous servings
Equipment
- spoon
- 4 8 ounce mason jars
Ingredients
- 1 (3.4 ounce) box instant vanilla pudding
- 2 cups milk (I used whole)
- 1 cup sliced fresh strawberries
- 2 bananas, sliced
- ¼ cup crushed pineapple, well-drained
- 3 tablespoons chocolate sauce
- ½ container (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed
- 3 tablespoons chopped nuts, optional
- maraschino cherries, optional
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the milk and vanilla pudding mix for 2 minutes or until completely mixed and beginning to thicken. Set aside. If time allows, I will let the pudding thicken more in the refrigerator for about an hour.
- Place a layer of sliced bananas in the bottom of each mason jar. Top the bananas with about 3 tablespoons of the pudding.
- Then, add a layer of sliced strawberries and repeat a layer of the pudding.
- Finally, spoon about ½ tablespoon of the crushed pineapple into each jar. Drizzle a bit of chocolate sauce over the pineapples.
- Add a dollop of whipped topping, chopped nuts (if desired,) and a cherry. Serve immediately or chill until ready to serve.
