Can I make Strawberry Banana Pudding ahead of time?

Absolutely! You can prepare the pudding a day before your event, allowing it to chill overnight in the refrigerator for optimal flavor. Just ensure you cover it to avoid any exposure to other odors in the fridge.

What can I use as a substitute for graham cracker crumbs?

If you don’t have graham crackers, you can use crushed digestive biscuits or even vanilla wafer cookies for a similar texture and flavor.

How long does this pudding keep in the fridge?

Strawberry banana pudding will keep well in the refrigerator for about 3-4 days. However, it's best enjoyed fresh, as the bananas may brown over time.

Is it possible to freeze this dessert?

I do not recommend freezing this dessert as the texture of the pudding and whipped cream will change when thawed. It’s best to enjoy fresh!

Can I add other fruits to this pudding?

Yes! This pudding is versatile. You can layer other fruits such as blueberries, peaches, or kiwi for extra flavor and color.
