Peanut Butter Ripple Nutter Butter Banana Pudding

A banana pudding recipe made with Nutter Butter cookies, bananas, pudding and layers of peanut butter ripples!


I went to college long enough ago that we students actually ate in the cafeteria. We didn't have credit cards for luxuries like McDonald’s and Lean Cuisines.

We ate in the cafeteria because it was that, go hungry or spend our beer money on food.

As if.

Like most school cafeterias circa 1994, the food was pretty bad. We just doused everything in ranch dressing. And I wonder why I gained so much weight in college??

Peanut butter was something else we used to make stuff taste better. We’d slather it on French toast slices and muffins and anything else that had no flavor. My college cafeteria is where I learned how amazing melted peanut butter is.

You can stick it in the microwave for a few seconds and instantly have a sweet and salty peanut butter sauce that is amazing on ice cream, cake, pudding, etc.

I often melt peanut butter to drizzle over ice cream at home. It just adds a little something extra and makes your kids think you’re a rock star.

I made Southern Banana Pudding last weekend and ate on it all week. One night I helped myself to some and decided to drizzle some melted peanut butter over because who don’t love peanut butter and bananas?!

And it was amazing!

I’d been thinking about it all week and decided it was just too good not to create some sort of dessert with that combination!

I decided to make sort of a peanut butter banana pudding using Nutter Butter Cookies instead of vanilla wafers. And then I put layers of melted peanut butter in there that made two positively divine peanut butter ripples. Lord, have mercy!

Brutus has declared this the best dessert EVER.

A banana pudding recipe made with Nutter Butter cookies, bananas, pudding and layers of peanut butter ripples!

ingredients:

  • 1 1-lb. package Nutter Butter Cookies
  • 1 large (5.1 oz.) box instant vanilla or banana pudding
  • 2 1/3 cups milk
  • 2/3 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 4-5 bananas
  • 1 8-oz. tub cool whip, thawed

instructions:

How to cook Peanut Butter Ripple Nutter Butter Banana Pudding

  1. Add pudding mix then milk to a medium bowl or stand mixer then beat two minutes; set aside.
  2. Heat peanut butter in the microwave for about 45 seconds or until melted and pourable, stirring well after heating; set aside.
  3. Arrange cookies in a single layer in the bottom of a square 2-quart dish.
  4. Pour half of the pudding on top of the cookies.
  5. Arrange a single layer of banana slices over the pudding.
  6. Drizzle half of the peanut butter over bananas.
  7. Spread half of the cool whip over peanut butter.
  8. Repeat these layers once more starting with cookies and ending with cool whip.
  9. Cover and refrigerate 24 hours or until cookies are soft and cake-like. It takes much longer for nutter butters to soften up than it does vanilla wafers.
  10. Garnish with crushed nutter butter cookies. Serve with additional melted peanut butter if desired.

NOTES:

You need good ol’ regular peanut butter for this (Skippy, Peter Pan, Jif, etc.), not sugar free, all natural, “homemade”, etc. I use Jif. Exclusively, actually. I could be the poster child for Jif I love it so much.

  1. Would it be possible to switch this up and use nutella instead? I can even use nutter butter cookies still. I have this odd thing about massive amounts of peanut better...

    1. I can't imagine why not. I have no idea if nutella melts like peanut butter but I would imagine so.

    2. If you live near a Russian store(only place to find these I know) there are wafers that are about 12" across for a common dessert they make which works very well for this. I have made it for a friend that cannot have peanuts. And there are other nut butters available if you want, just use confectioners sugar to smooth out the butter like the Jif.

    1. In fact, would you have any suggestions for glamming it up a bit, maybe on top? I know good ole comfort desserts are fine at special events, just wondering what I could do to have it look like it's really special.

    2. How about putting chocolate shavings on top? Or making a pillow of Cool Whip on top then lining a cookie sheet with parchment lightly coated with butter baking spray, put cookie cutters on top, melt chocolate, pour into cookiec cutters and chill until hardened, arrange on top? Or create a pillow of Cool Whip and sprinkle with a crumb topping, and add a sprinkled layer of grated/copped Reese's peanut butter cups?

  6. Hi Mandy! I love your website and recipes! I made this on Saturday and I only have one word.........OH MY GOD! Ok, that was 3. This was so decadent and delicious. No one would guess how easy it is. It made me a very selfish person. My son asked if there was any left last night and I lied. I told him it was gone. He found the pan and called me out! I had to share :). It's too good to share!

  9. I just made a half recipe of this for my husband’s birthday because there are only four of us. It fit perfectly in a loaf pan! I did a small box of pudding and whipped a cup of cream instead of the cool whip. Can’t wait to eat it!

Hi there! While I’m not able to respond to every comment, I try hard to answer any questions that haven’t been addressed in the post, recipe or in other comments.

I can tell you now 1) I have no idea if you can substitute Minute Rice or brown rice in my recipes because I’ve never used them and 2) If I know how to convert a recipe to a Crock Pot version, I will make a note about it (otherwise, I don’t know).

And though I may not respond to them all, I do read each and every comment and I LOVE to hear from you guys! Thanks, y’all! - Mandy
