Banana Pudding Dip Recipe with Vanilla Wafer Topping

Creamy homemade banana pudding dip is the perfect thick and delicious dessert dip to serve up at a potluck or party. 

Done in under 10 minutes, this dip topped with pieces of wafer cookie topping, tastes just like a delectable pie without waiting for it to set. Fresh bananas and full of flavor banana pudding is a combination that cannot be beat! 

Dessert Dips

Now I don’t do a ton of desserts here on Salty Side Dish – after all, my site mainly focuses on easy and delicious side dishes and appetizers. But when my neighbor and friend told me she makes a divine banana dip that would be great shared here, who am I to turn that down!

And she was right. This banana cream dip is a thick and delicious dessert dip that reminds me so much of spring flavors.

A perfect on the table dip for Easter parties or Mothers Day, I couldn’t resist throwing this dip right into a pie crust for serving.

Plus when the party is over, just toss out (or eat!) and that’s one less bowl to clean. 

Before we get started on this dip, please know that any time you are working with pudding, that pudding thickens in the fridge. If you are not planning on eating this dip immediately, it must be stored in the fridge due to the dairy. The longer you keep it cold, the more likely it is to thicken to the consistency of a silky pudding of course.

To me this is great because a banana dip should be nice and thick to stay on a vanilla wafer – but if you prefer the dip a lot creamier and even more irresistible, prior to serving, fold in an 8 oz defrosted container of whipped cream and that should fluff it right back up again.
