Afterward, slice up the bananas and stir them into the pudding mixture. Go ahead and wash and dry the strawberries.

Recipe Tips:

You can layer our strawberry banana pudding in mason jars. However, you will need to purchase and use the Nilla mini-wafers. Otherwise, the larger wafers may not fit into the mouth of the jar.
To avoid soggy cookies, you could skip placing them into the bottom of the dish and instead, serve a them fresh with everything serving.
For even more strawberry flavor, consider stirring in extra sliced strawberries into the pudding along with the bananas.
