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

Also, remove the stems and slice them up because you’ll need the berries for one of the final steps.

Strawberry Banana Pudding 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.
