Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 carton (16 ounces / 454 g) firm silken tofu
  • 2 ½ ripe bananas, peeled divided
  • 1 Tablespoon (15 ml) potato starch
  • 2 Tablespoons (30 ml) lemon extract or juice of 1 small lemon
  • 1 Tablespoon (15 ml) vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup (50 g) sugar
  • 4 to 5 Fat Badger Cookies your choice of flavor, crushed
  • vegan whipped cream for garnish (optional)

  • Top the cookies with about 1 inch (2.5 cm) of banana pudding.
  • Add a thin layer of banana slices.

  • Add another ½ inch (1 cm) of crumbled cookies, then top with another layer of banana pudding.
  • Garnish with the remaining banana slices and vegan whipped cream, if using.

Notes

  • Adjust thickness: If your pudding is not thick enough, add more bananas or potato starch until you get the consistency you want.
  • Slice bananas fresh: Slice the bananas right before you use them so they don't turn brown. You can also use frozen banana slices.
  • Use various glasses: Regular tall glasses work if you don't have mason jars. For party desserts, use short, stubby glasses instead.
  • Enjoy leftovers: Use leftover banana pudding with your morning oats, or pour it into a vegan pie crust and freeze it for a banana pudding pie.
  • Make breakfast parfaits: For a breakfast parfait, try my Yogurt Parfait made with fresh berries, granola, and plant-based yogurt.
