Banana Pudding Rice Krispies (Print Format)

Creamy banana pudding meets crunchy Rice Krispies in a sweet layered treat perfect for any occasion.

# Ingredients:

→ Base

01 - 5 cups rice cereal (e.g., Rice Krispies)
02 - 10 oz mini marshmallows
03 - ¼ cup unsalted butter

→ Banana Pudding Layer

04 - 1 package instant banana pudding mix (3.4 oz)
05 - 1½ cups cold milk
06 - 1 cup whipped topping (e.g., Cool Whip)

→ Topping

07 - Sliced bananas, fresh

# Steps:

01 - Melt unsalted butter over low heat in a large pot. Add mini marshmallows and stir continuously until fully melted and smooth.
02 - Remove the pot from heat and quickly fold in the rice cereal, ensuring even coating with the melted marshmallow mixture.
03 - Grease a 9×9-inch baking pan. Press the marshmallow-cereal mixture firmly into the pan to form an even layer. Allow to cool completely.
04 - In a medium bowl, whisk banana pudding mix with cold milk for 2 minutes until thickened. Let it rest until it reaches pudding consistency.
05 - Gently fold whipped topping into the banana pudding until fully incorporated, creating a light and fluffy texture.
06 - Spread the banana pudding mixture evenly over the cooled Rice Krispie base. Top with fresh banana slices.
07 - Refrigerate the assembled dish for 30 minutes to allow the pudding layer to set. Cut into squares and serve chilled.

# Tips:

01 - Add banana slices just before serving to prevent browning.
02 - For enhanced banana flavor, a few drops of banana extract may be added to the pudding.
03 - These treats are best served chilled but can be enjoyed at room temperature.
