How to Create Perfect Banana Pudding Rice Krispies

Perfect Melting Technique

Melting marshmallows slowly over low heat prevents burning and ensures smooth incorporation.

Layering Method

Creating distinct layers with cookies mimics the traditional banana pudding experience.

Proper Pressing

Using parchment paper and gentle, even pressure creates perfectly shaped treats.

Cooling Strategy

Allowing treats to set at room temperature prevents condensation and preserves texture.

Baking Tips

For best results, use fresh marshmallows as they melt more smoothly.

Work quickly when mixing the cereal as the marshmallow mixture begins to set fast.

If adding fresh banana slices, serve the treats within 24 hours to prevent browning.

For a stronger banana flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon banana extract to the marshmallow mixture.

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

For firmer treats, refrigerate for 30 minutes before cutting.

Ingredients

Custard Cream

6 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 (10 oz) package marshmallows

1 (3.4 oz) package instant banana pudding mix (dry)

6 cups Rice Krispies cereal

1 cup crushed vanilla wafer cookies, plus 16 whole cookies

1 cup white chocolate chips

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1-2 ripe bananas, thinly sliced (optional)

Yellow food coloring (optional, few drops)

Instructions

Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper and spray lightly with cooking spray.

In a large pot, melt butter over low heat.

Add marshmallows and stir constantly until completely melted and smooth.

Remove from heat and quickly stir in the dry banana pudding mix until well combined. Add yellow food coloring if desired for a more vibrant color.

Immediately add Rice Krispies cereal and 3/4 cup of the crushed vanilla wafers, stirring until evenly coated.

Press half of the mixture into the prepared pan, creating an even layer.

Arrange whole vanilla wafer cookies in rows on top of the Rice Krispies layer.

If using banana slices, arrange them on top of the cookies.

Spread remaining Rice Krispies mixture over the cookies, pressing down gently to create an even top layer.

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips and vegetable oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted and smooth.

Stir vanilla extract into the melted white chocolate.

Drizzle the white chocolate mixture over the top of the treats.

Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup crushed vanilla wafers.

Allow to cool completely at room temperature for about 1 hour before cutting into squares.
