Helpful Supplies

These tools are super helpful, but not all are necessary! I’ve linked some of my favorite recommendations for this recipe below.

  • Pyrex Glass Measuring Cup – I love my Pyrex measuring cup, I have it in the 4-cup and 8-cup variety!
  • KitchenAid Mixer – I swear these mixers are built to last! My mother-in-law was kind to give me hers almost a decade ago and she took her mother’s. Both are still going strong!
  • Pyrex Deep 13×9 Glass Dish with Lid – this is perfect for taking to potlucks! The lid makes transport easy.

How do I make this Golden Oreo Banana Pudding recipe?

In a medium mixing bowl or large measuring cup as the one recommended above (Pyrex Glass Measuring Cup ), whisk together the milk and french pudding packets. Set aside in the refrigerator while you begin working on the next steps.

Whip the heavy whipping cream, vanilla extract and powdered sugar in a large bowl using a stand mixer or with a hand mixer. Whip on high until firm peaks begin to form.

Gently fold the pudding and whipped cream mixture together until well combined and place back into the refrigerator.

In a deep 13″ x 9″ pan, layer in 24 Golden oreos. Then cut up 2 bananas into slices approximately 1/4″ thick and place on top of the Oreo layer.

Garnish with more banana slices if desired. Cover and let the pudding rest in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours before serving.

Recipe Tips

  • To save on dishes, instead of a bowl AND measuring cup, use a large measuring cup like the one I linked above to measure out your milk and then add your pudding packets directly to the measuring cup. 
  • This banana pudding recipe should rest for AT LEAST 8 hours or longer. Because the Oreos are thicker than the traditional wafer cookies in banana pudding, you’ll want this to rest quite awhile so it softens the cookies. Waiting a day or overnight is ideal. We always like it best the second day! 
  • Opt for the French Vanilla pudding if you can, it has a better flavor than traditional vanilla.
  • If you want to garnish the top with banana slices, I’d recommend doing so right before serving to prevent the bananas from turning brown.

Storing the Oreo banana pudding

You should store the pudding covered in the refrigerator for up to three days.
