As the weather heats up, you don’t want to spend your time in front of the heat from an oven. I have an awesome and very easy No Bake Banana Pudding Parfaits recipe that will make your life easier this summer.

Is it me, or is it when you are a wife, mom, working professional, and food blogger, it is hard to come up with the time to do…anything? Well, that is how I have been feeling lately. I simply do not have a lot of times on my hands these days. Heck, I don’t really have the time to write this blog post but you’ll make time for things that I really important to you. This summer, I am all about two things, no-bake desserts and making more salads (that is another blog post). Both of these types of recipes will definitely help me with my lack of time conundrum.

I have quite a few no-bake desserts on my blog. Some of my favorites are my Strawberry Yogurt and Granola No Bake Pie and Lemon and Shortbread Icebox Cake. I love those two desserts. They are my “jam”. Now I think this No-Bake Banana Pudding Parfaits recipe is a new favorite. They are super simple and all you have to do is assemble the parfaits in a mason jar with a few store-bought ingredients. The only ingredient you have to make with this no-bake dessert is instant pudding and that can even be purchased at the grocery store as well.

What’s in these No Bake Banana Pudding Parfaits?

Just like your Classic Banana Pudding recipe, there’s pudding, bananas, vanilla wafers, and whipped cream. However, to make these parfaits more special and delicious, I added pieces of loaf cake as a layer and I am so glad I did. Having the layers of cake, vanilla wafers, pudding, and fresh bananas makes the perfect no-bake dessert to enjoy on a warm day. If you want to get extra fancy, instead of using instant pudding, you can make homemade vanilla custard for extra decadence and flavor.

These Banana Pudding Parfaits are easy to enjoy and eat. Another thing I love about this idea is you can really adapt it to any fruit and pudding idea you want. Instead of using butter cake you can do strawberries with chocolate cake and chocolate pudding or even brownies instead of the cake. Heck, I think I might do that myself! That sounds delicious! But what I love about recipes like these is how creative you can get based upon your own preferences.
