Ingredients
Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix (1 box or 3.4 oz)
Milk (2 cups, whole if available)
Ripe Banana (1 large)
Fresh Strawberries (1 cup, sliced)
Graham Crackers (8 sheets or 1 cup crushed)
Butter (2 tablespoons, melted)
Whipped Cream (1/2 cup, halal-certified or non-alcoholic store-bought)
Instructions
Crush graham crackers into fine crumbs using a food processor or rolling pin
Melt butter until runny (saucepan or microwave)
Mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until evenly moistened
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch serving dish or jar
In a separate bowl, whisk pudding mix with cold milk until smooth
Let the pudding sit for 2 minutes, then layer over the crust
Distribute banana slices and strawberries evenly, alternating with additional pudding layers (2-3 layers total)
Smooth the top with a spatula
Chill for 4 hours or overnight
Top with whipped cream and fresh strawberries before serving
Notes
Use halal-certified sugar in pudding mix for 100% halal compliance
Cold milk ensures optimal pudding texture
Resting the pudding after mixing allows starch to fully hydrate
Layers expand slightly as pudding sets, so fill the dish to 3/4 capacity
Serve chilled for a textural contrast
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours
