Optional Add-Ins & Twists

• Cream cheese layer: Beat 8 oz cream cheese with ¼ cup powdered sugar; fold into pudding.

• Strawberry glaze: Drizzle strawberry pie filling between layers.

• Chocolate drizzle: Add melted chocolate or chocolate wafers.

• Banana-brown sugar vibe: Sprinkle bananas with a little brown sugar before layering.

Make-Ahead Tip

Brush banana slices lightly with lemon juice to prevent browning (you won’t taste it once chilled).

If you want, I can turn this into a 3-ingredient shortcut, mini dessert cups, or a Southern-style banana pudding version.
