Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas (with brown spots for maximum sweetness)
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream or whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)
- 2–3 tablespoons milk or plant-based milk (adjust for desired consistency)
Instructions
- Prepare the Bananas: Peel and slice two ripe bananas, then mash them with a fork or potato masher until smooth but slightly chunky to retain some texture.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, sift together 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder and 3 tablespoons powdered sugar to avoid lumps, then add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract for flavor.
- Whip the Cream: Whip 1 cup of heavy cream or chosen whipped topping until soft peaks form, indicating a light and airy texture that holds shape.
- Combine Everything: Gently fold the mashed bananas into the cocoa mixture, then carefully fold in the whipped cream. Add 2-3 tablespoons of milk (or more for a looser texture) until the mixture is smooth and luscious.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the pudding fluff for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld and the texture improve before serving.
Notes
- Use very ripe bananas with brown spots for optimal sweetness and creaminess.
- Fold ingredients gently to maintain an airy, fluffy texture.
- Adjust sweetness gradually; start with less powdered sugar and taste as you go.
- Chill the fluff properly to enhance flavor and texture.
- Experiment with different milks (oat, coconut, almond) for unique flavors and consistencies.
