Southern Banana Pudding Parfaits are easy yet delicious portable desserts made in mason jars with layers of crushed vanilla wafers, sliced bananas, banana pudding, and whipped topping!
I love to cook from scratch when I have the time. However, sometimes I don’t want to wait, and want something sweet NOW!! I did not want to wait for for the Southern Banana Pudding Parfaits to sit for hours in the refrigerator.
So I got out a package of the instant banana cream pudding, and whipped topping, and vanilla wafers, and started making these parfaits. They are quick and easy and delicious! It’s sort of like my No Bake Banana Cream Pie but in a Parfait instead!
Just add a handful of crushed vanilla wafers at the bottom, a layer of pudding, a layer of sliced bananas, and a layer of whipped topping, and repeat. Garnish with crushed vanilla wafers and sliced bananas and you have Southern Banana Pudding Parfaits ready to take with you on the go.

Yum! Looks scrumptious. Banana pudding is a huge favorite around here but sometimes I just don’t have the energy or the patience. I love this idea and the Mason jars are so cute. Thanks for posting.
