Banana pudding is a classic creamy dessert that I absolutely love! It’s normally made with lots of dairy, so I decided to make my own version that is not only dairy-free, but also packed with some protein too! I hope you enjoy this dairy-free banana pudding.
What you will need for the banana pudding
Pudding Ingredients
- 1 block of tofu (12 oz)
- 3 bananas
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 1/4 cup coconut cream
- 2 tbsp arrowroot powder
Topping
- vegan vanilla wafer cookies
- dairy free whipped cream
How to make the pudding
- To a food processor, add the block of tofu, bananas, maple syrup, vanilla, and coconut cream.
- Blend everything until the pudding has a creamy consistency and everything is mixed up well.
- In a small bowl, add two tablespoons of arrowroot powder with a small amount of water. Whisk them together until the arrowroot powder forms a thick paste. Then transfer that paste to the blender, with the rest of the pudding and blend on high speed. *This step is optional, but adding the arrowroot powder thickens up the pudding and gives it a nice consistency.
- Once the pudding is blended, it’s ready to assemble!
- Grab some glasses. Crumble up the vanilla wafer cookies and add a layer of cookie to the bottom of each glass.
- Next, add a layer of banana pudding. Now add a layer of whipped cream. Repeat these layers until you reach the top of the glass.
- You can top each glass with more cookies and banana slices.

pretty easy ingredients for the most part and tastes really good
What kind of tofu (firm, silken, etc.)?
You can use any- it just depends on how thick you want the pudding to be! If you prefer it runnier, then use silken. If you prefer it thicker, use firm 🙂 I hope that makes sense!
