Notes
Recipe Tips
- Beat your whipped cream until stiff peaks form and no further. Overmixing will deflate the whipped cream.
- Gently blend your pudding ingredients until combined but no further. You don't want to lose the body the whipped cream gives the pudding.
- Slice your bananas just before making the cups so they don't turn brown.
