Instructions

Begin by crushing the Golden Oreos right in their bags. You can use your hands or a rolling pin to break them into small crumbs. This will be your “crust,” so make sure the cookies are finely crushed.
Once your Oreos are crushed, spoon in a generous amount of vanilla pudding from the snack cups. The smooth, creamy pudding is the heart of this dessert and gives it that classic banana cream pie flavor.
Next, add a few slices of bananas to the pudding. Bananas and vanilla pudding are the ultimate pairing, adding sweetness and texture to every bite.
To finish, top it all off with a fluffy dollop of whipping cream. The whipped cream adds richness and creaminess that perfectly complements the pudding and bananas.
Grab a spoon, dig in, and enjoy your Walking Banana Cream Pie! It’s the easiest, most convenient dessert for camping or any outdoor gathering.

Tips & Tricks

Be sure to use a sturdy snack bag to hold your dessert. Thicker bags prevent spills and help keep your Walking Banana Cream Pie intact until it’s time to enjoy. We like to use scissors to cut the top of the bag open rather than tearing into it.
If you’re looking for a faster option, canned whipping cream works perfectly. Just keep it cool in your cooler until it’s time to serve!
For an extra fruity twist, feel free to add more banana slices or even sliced strawberries or raspberries. The more fresh fruit, the better!
If you want to make your dessert even more refreshing, chill the vanilla pudding before packing it. It adds a nice cool touch when you’re ready to dig in.
For an indulgent twist, drizzle a little caramel sauce over the top before serving. It adds a deliciously sweet finish to your dessert.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use homemade vanilla pudding instead of the snack cups?

For sure! If you prefer homemade vanilla pudding, you can make it ahead of time and let it cool before packing it for your camping trip. Just make sure it’s thickened properly before you add it to your bag.

How do I keep the whipped cream from melting?

To keep your whipped cream fresh and fluffy, store it in an airtight container in your cooler. If you’re using canned whipped cream, just keep it cool until you’re ready to serve.

Can I make Walking Banana Cream Pie for a crowd?

Yes! This recipe is easy to scale up. Just double or triple the ingredients, depending on how many people you’re serving. Pre-crush the Golden Oreos, and pack the vanilla pudding and bananas in separate containers. When you’re ready to eat, just assemble everything in the bags!

There you have it—Walking Banana Cream Pie is the perfect dessert to bring along on your next camping trip. With its creamy pudding, fresh banana slices, and crunchy Golden Oreos, this treat brings all the flavors of banana cream pie in a convenient, mess-free package.
