Bananas and chocolate come together wonderfully, but if you’re not a fan of the fruit, or just want to try out something a bit different, you could totally do that too. Below are some ideas that really add to this pudding.

• Replace the bananas with strawberries, raspberries, apples, pears, or any other fruit that goes well with Nutella.
• Use vanilla, caramel, or banana pudding in place of the chocolate instant pudding if desired.
• Swap the pudding for a no bake cheesecae mixture with cream cheese, sugar, and whipped cream.
• Add a layer of cake crumbs, brownie crumbles, or candy pieces.
• Drizzle caramel or hot fudge sauce between the layers of pudding.
• Top with cookie crumbs instead of whole cookies.

How to Make the Nutella Oreo Banana Pudding

In a large mixing bowl, beat together the instant pudding mix and milk or prepare as directed on the stovetop.

To the pudding, stir in the Nutella then cover and refrigerate while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.

In a clean bowl, beat the vanilla extract and heavy cream until soft peaks form.

Divide the mixture so ⅓ is set aside to top the pudding trifle.

Add the remaining ⅔ of the whipped cream to the prepared pudding, stirring until combined.

In a trifle bowl, begin layering the mixture by adding ⅓ of the pudding to the bottom of the dish.

Top with a layer of Oreo cookies.

Then a layer of sliced bananas.

Repeat using pudding, cookies, then bananas.

Top the trifle with the leftover whipped topping.

Sprinkle the top with toasted hazelnuts and additional Oreo cookies.

Refrigerate for 3 hours before serving.

Tips & Tricks For a Pudding Trifle

Ready to give this dreamy, creamy recipe a shot? Don’t miss out on these little tips and tricks to really take the recipe up a notch. 

• Make sure the pudding that you’re using has the perfect, firm texture. Using runny pudding for this recipe is a big no-no, as you won’t be able to get those perfect slices when you cut into it while serving. 
• To lend the pudding a bit of crunch, you can top it with some chopped nuts of your choice. Not a fan of nuts? A generous sprinkle of crushed Oreos or Nilla wafers can do the trick. 
• Not so sure about that too? Go for the classic- some chocolate shavings or mini chocolate chips. 
• Sprinkle some salted pecans over the top, right before you serve. The saltiness will add a nice contrast to the sweet flavor of the pudding. 
• You can also add in an additional layer of crumbled brownie or some crumbled leftover sponge cake. 
• If you’re skipping the fruit but still want this dessert to have an additional layer, use large, toasted marshmallows to create that perfect fall dessert. 

Serving Ideas & Suggestions

While you can always do it the easy way and layer this pudding in a big dish, why not put in a teeny bit more effort to make this pudding look even fancier?

Instead of piling all the layers in one giant dish, replicate the process but in smaller, individual dessert glasses. This will save you the hassle of having to cut out and precariously serve the dessert from one dish.
