An easy and delicious spin on the classic with Jell-O Simply Banana Instant Pudding. It’s made with real banana and no artificial dyes, colors, or sweeteners. This no-bake dessert is perfect for a crowd.
1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the Jell-O Simply Banana Instant Pudding Mix and cold milk for 2 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes to thicken, then refrigerate while you prepare the remaining ingredients.
2. In a large bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and a pinch of kosher salt until soft peaks form. Add the mascarpone and beat for 10-15 seconds more, just until smooth, thick, and spreadable. Be careful not to over-mix.
3. In a small bowl, stir the vanilla into the cooled coffee or espresso.
4. Quickly dip half of the ladyfingers into the coffee mixture, about 1 second per side, and arrange them in an even layer in a 9x9-inch (or similar-sized) baking dish.
5. Spread half of the mascarpone cream over the ladyfingers. Top with half of the banana pudding, then arrange the banana slices in an even layer over the pudding.
6. Repeat with the remaining coffee-dipped ladyfingers, the remaining banana pudding, and finish with the remaining mascarpone cream.
7. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, until set and the ladyfingers have softened.
8. Slice, garnish each piece with banana slices and fresh mint, and enjoy!
