Vanilla pudding fruit dessert recipe

Here’s a simple and delicious Vanilla Pudding Fruit Dessert recipe — creamy, sweet, and full of fresh fruit! 🍓🍌

1 package (3.4 oz / 100 g) instant vanilla pudding mix
2 cups cold milk
1 cup whipped cream (optional, for extra creaminess)
2 cups fresh fruit (strawberries, blueberries, bananas, mango, or your favorite mix)
Optional toppings: shredded coconut, chopped nuts, or chocolate shavings

Prepare the pudding
- In a medium bowl, whisk pudding mix and cold milk for about 2 minutes until smooth.
- Let it set in the fridge for 5–10 minutes to thicken.
Prepare the fruit
- Wash and cut fruit into bite-sized pieces.
- If using berries, leave them whole; slice larger fruits like bananas or mango.
Layer the dessert
- In serving glasses or a large dish, layer:
  1. A scoop of pudding
  2. A layer of fruit
  3. (Optional) a layer of whipped cream
- Repeat layers until the glasses are filled.
Chill
- Refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour for the flavors to meld.
Serve
- Top with extra fruit, nuts, coconut, or chocolate shavings for garnish.

Make it colorful: use at least 2–3 different fruits for a vibrant dessert.
For a tropical twist, try mango + pineapple + kiwi.
Make ahead: This dessert can be prepared a few hours in advance, but add delicate fruits like bananas just before serving to avoid browning.
