Ingredients
  

Essentials

  • 1 cup banana pudding mix (instant) the concentrated flavor base
  • 2 cups heavy cream whipped to give structure and creaminess
  • 1 cup crushed vanilla wafer cookies for texture and classic flavor
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar adds sweetness and helps firm the mixture
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to boost flavor and round out the banana
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips tiny chocolate bites kids love
  • chocolate coating (for dipping) melted chocolate or candy coating works
  • sprinkles (for decoration) optional, but great for Easter or kid-friendly presentations

Optional Add-ons

  • a pinch cinnamon for a warm undertone
  • 1/2 cup toasted pecans or chopped walnuts for a nutty crunch (offer on the side for allergy-safe homes)
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese softened to make the texture tangier and slightly firmer
  • shredded coconut for a tropical twist
  • yellow or pastel sprinkles to match Easter or party themes

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a medium bowl, whisk the banana pudding mix into the heavy cream until smooth and thickened. If you have an electric mixer, use it on low for 1–2 minutes to reach soft peaks faster.
  • Fold in the crushed vanilla wafers and powdered sugar gently with a spatula to keep the mixture light.
  • Stir in the vanilla extract and mini chocolate chips.
  • Cover the bowl and chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
  • Use a small cookie scoop or spoon to portion the chilled mixture, then roll into small balls.
  • Melt your chocolate coating according to package directions and dip each ball using a fork or dipping tool.
  • Add sprinkles or decorations while the chocolate is still wet.
  • Refrigerate the dipped truffles until the chocolate sets and everything is firm, about 15–30 minutes.

Notes

These truffles can be made ahead and stored in an airtight container for 3–4 days in the fridge. Great for parties and kid-friendly desserts.
