Oh my yummy goodness. Banana Pudding Shots! Got a sweet tooth? Do you {love} desserts? If there’s one thing I have, it’s a sweet tooth. Wether it’s chocolate, ice cream, cookies, pie — I have liking for all things sweet. Guess what that means? I {love} dessert! What about bananas? Well, if you like desserts and bananas, these Banana Pudding Shots might be something to add to your menu.
I don’t know about you, but when entertaining, I like to end the meal with a yummy bang. Dessert is as equally important as the main meal {giggle}. So, with just a few easy steps, these are the perfect size and tasty treat for your next social event or family dinner! They are delicious and the perfect single serving portion for a dessert bar, Open House, etc.
I recently stumbled across this in a magazine and had to make them.
If you’ve never had one of these, I’m afraid that you’re missing out!
Let’s get started, so we can eat them all up {smile}.

Happy Dessert Eating!
What a great single serving dessert perfect for parties and such! It sounds so easy too!
Thanks so much, Julie. Easy and yummy 🙂 Have a great day.
How far in advance can these be made?
Yes, please! What’s better than a fast summer sweet fix? I love making homemade puddings, but nothing beats those childhood memories of Jello pudding…especially mixed with Cool Whip, poured into cups with a popsicle stick to turn into freezer pops. Thanks for sharing, Kelly.
Thanks for leaving some comment love, Jelli! Have a lovely week.
These look so yummy! 🙂
They are soooo yummy! A must try, friend 🙂 Happy Monday to you.
Those look delicious and I love your pictures!
Thanks so much, Tonia 🙂 Have a fantabulous week!
YUM! Thanks for linking this at Keeping It Simple.

Love banana pudding and love the idea of shots!! Thanks for sharing, I’m pinning this!
Yay! So glad you love these yummy treats. Enjoy. xo
shut up!!! adorable and yummy too…bonus!! 🙂
Ha Ha! Yes…. they are pretty adorable and yummy! HUGS!
These look like they taste just like summer! 🙂
Well said, Amy… they do!
Thanks for posting this delicious recipe! I can’t wait to try it out. Megan
Yay! I can’t wait to hear what you think. xo
This is a great idea! It’s cute and a great way to keep portion size under control (which I need!!).
Thanks so much for stopping by and loving on my Banana Pudding Shots. xo
That’s how I like my shots, with whip cream and a spoon.
~Bliss~
LOL! YAY. Thanks for making me smile, Bliss. Have a fabulous week.
Yummmm! Kelly those look so good! I love banana anything…except actual bananas….how weird is that? I keep seeing those little dessert shotglasses……maybe I should pick some up, they’re adorable.
YAY! So glad you like what you see 🙂 Yes, shot glasses for desserts are a GREAT option. Hugs to you, friend!
Sounds like a fun idea! I’m not a fan of vanilla pudding, but I bet these would be fantastic with chocolate pudding! (sounds like something I may need to do!)
Hey Leslie! Actually, the vanilla pudding with the half-n-half and vanilla tastes more like a custard. It soooo good. xo
Yes, they are very good. It’s a shame they are only 2oz. LOL
Awww… 43, gooms! Portion control, something I desperately need 🙂
Lethal….and YUMMY! and so adorable in those little, tiny glasses. I assume that those are meant for portion control of some sort? The guilt of eating 6 or so in one sitting is supposed to make it so that I don’t eat 40,000 calories worth before realizing that I’ve made my way through my calorie count for the next 5.3 days? I love it and thank you! There’s now a much better chance that I’ll actually stop myself after one than if I just made it in a bowl and absentmindedly sat down some late night and finished 1/2 of it. Yikes!!!!! Seriously, they look delish and I’m making some of these cuties!
Yes. Portion control is a always helpful; however, I don’t think I ever ate just one {rut-row). 😉
Looks so yummy, can’t hardly wait to try it. I pinned it. Thank you so much for sharing. Blessings, Jo-Ann

Hi Holley! Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a super great day. Hugs
Hi, coming to you from Talent Tuesday. My husband will flip for these! I am breaking my blog op rules and looking atsomething that is not chocolate- since that is my flavor of choice. Anyhoo, thanks for the idea!
Yay! Super excited to hear that you broke a rule and visiting with me 🙂 Enjoy.. someone said maybe it would be good with chocolate pudding. I don’t know, but this version is deeeee-lish! xo
What great little desserts, I love this idea!!! I love the individual little sizes! So cute!
Yay! So glad to hear that you like them 🙂 xo
yummy!This is such a great idea,I would love to try something like this for my kidz.
Have always loved banana pudding, my daughter and I made it on the blog not too long ago! Just curious as to why you do not reccomend instant? Do you find the pie filling type thicker? Thanks for sharing at tip toe thru tuesday!
Hi Kim! Sorry for such a late response… instant won’t work as well because of adding the creamer and adding the vanilla… it makes it more like a custard than a pudding 🙂
These are adorable and of course a favorite here in the South! Thanks for the sweet idea Kelly.
Looks delicious!
Hi,nice blog, you gave me a sweet idea for this weekend:).

Just tried these out, Kelly! They were amazing. Everyone enjoyed them. Megan
WOO HOO!! So glad to hear you liked them, Megan 🙂 Hugs!
Hi there. You will have noticed that this week’s subject for Food on Friday is bananas. How about linking this post in? Cheers
looks amazing! Hoping to have this at my sons 1st birthday party! where can I buy the wooden spoons or do I have to get them online?
YAY! Sounds like a yummy idea 😉 I bought mine on-line through Pick Your Plum, but I’m certain you could find them on Etsy as well. Good luck!!
Seems to be a US only recipe, but I will be able to find substitutes for all ingredients, well I have to really, we don’t have frozen whipped toppings at all, so freshly whipped cream it will have to be :)… there is just one thing: what do you call half-and-half? Here half-and-half is white wine mixed with champagne, but that would make it a sorbet (could be very nice too by the way) and it doesn’t look like that in the picture. So it presumably is something else? Hope to hear from you soon!
Half and Half is a creamer. You could probably use a whipping cream as a replacement 🙂 Thanks so much for stopping by!
How many does the banana pudding shooters recipes serves?
Hi Janae 🙂 Thanks for stopping by. This recipe will make 24 pudding shots (see Step #3). Cheers!
Is it better to make these closer to when you will serve them or can you make them in advance Making for a Bunco party. Just the right amount after dinner!
Hi Jan. I would make them closer to the event. You can prep the pudding mix ahead of time and assemble day of event. You just don’t want the banana to brown and the cookie to soften or get soggy — that’s no fun. Enjoy!
