A unique and delightful dessert combining banana pudding and tacos for a fun twist on a classic treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 to 10 small flour tortillas (street taco size)
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 box (3.4 ounces) instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 1/2 cups cold whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream, whipped to soft peaks, or 1 cup prepared whipped topping
- 2 medium ripe bananas, sliced
- 1/2 cup crushed vanilla wafers
- Additional whipped cream (for topping)
- Banana slices (for garnish)
- Mini vanilla wafers (for garnish)
- Caramel sauce (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly brush both sides of each tortilla with melted butter.
- Combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl and sprinkle the mixture over both sides of the tortillas.
- Drape the tortillas over the bars of the oven rack to form a taco shape, placing a baking sheet below to catch any drips.
- Bake for 5 to 7 minutes until the shells are golden brown and crisp.
- Carefully remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before filling.
- In a large bowl, whisk the instant vanilla pudding mix with the cold milk until smooth and thickened.
- Gently fold in the whipped cream or prepared whipped topping until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Stir in the crushed vanilla wafers.
- Spoon the banana pudding filling into each cooled taco shell.
- Add a layer of sliced bananas.
- Top with additional whipped cream.
- Garnish with banana slices, mini vanilla wafers, and a drizzle of caramel sauce if desired.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- Make sure not to overbake the tortilla shells to avoid a hard texture.
- For extra flavor, consider adding some chocolate chips to the banana pudding filling.
- Can be prepared ahead of time; just fill the shells before serving to keep them crisp.
