- ½ cup sugar
- ¼ cup cornstarch
- ⅛ teaspoon coarse salt
- 1 ½ cups unsweetened, plain dairy free milk
- ½ cup full-fat canned coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- ½ box vanilla wafer cookies
- 2-3 medium bananas sliced
- 2 cups dairy free whipped topping*
Combine sugar, cornstarch and salt in a large saucepan. Whisk to combine.
Slowly pour in the cold milk, whisking until smooth.
Heat saucepan to medium-high and cook until the milk starts to thicken. Stir as needed to prevent lumps. Allow the pudding to cook until the mixture coats the back of a spoon with a thick layer.
Remove from heat, stir in vanilla extract, and let the pudding cool to room temperature.
Layer crushed cookies, vanilla pudding and sliced bananas. Repeat until ingredients are gone or your chosen container is full.
Top with the banana pudding with a layer of whipped cream.
Garnish with cookies and sliced bananas just before serving.
