  • 4️⃣ To assemble: Add a few vanilla wafer cookies to the bottom of each cup. Top with a layer of banana slices, then spoon over some pudding mixture.

  • 6️⃣ Garnish with crushed cookies, banana slices, or a sprinkle of cinnamon (optional).
  • 7️⃣ Chill cups for at least 1 hour before serving for best flavor and texture.
