Introduction

Keto No-Bake Banana Pudding Dessert Cups are the perfect answer for anyone craving a classic banana pudding flavor without the high carbohydrates and sugar that usually come with it. This recipe delivers all the creamy comfort of traditional banana desserts while staying keto-friendly, portion-controlled, and WW conscious.

Why This Recipe Is Special

Traditional banana pudding uses sugar, flour, and real bananas, which are not keto-friendly. This version recreates the banana flavor using banana extract, sugar-free pudding, and low-carb ingredients so you can enjoy dessert without breaking ketosis.

Designed for Keto and WW

These dessert cups are crafted to support low-carb and Weight Watchers lifestyles. They use high-protein dairy, controlled fats, and minimal sweeteners to keep SmartPoints low while still tasting rich and satisfying.

Flavor and Texture Experience

Every spoonful delivers silky pudding, fluffy whipped cream, a soft cookie-style crumble, and chocolate chip pops. The combination feels indulgent, yet it’s light enough for everyday enjoyment.

Perfect No-Bake Treat

Since this recipe requires no oven time, it’s ideal for warm days, quick desserts, meal prep, and entertaining. The cups chill beautifully and taste even better the next day.

Ingredients (Makes 6 Dessert Cups)

Banana Pudding Base

  • 1½ cups heavy whipping cream
  • ½ cup full-fat cream cheese, softened
  • ⅓ cup powdered monk fruit sweetener
  • 1 tsp banana extract
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Crumble Layer

  • ¾ cup almond flour
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tbsp powdered sweetener

Topping

  • ¼ cup sugar-free mini chocolate chips
  • Optional: keto banana-flavored chips

Ingredient Purpose

Heavy cream builds richness and fluff. Cream cheese adds body and cheesecake-style texture. Almond flour creates a cookie-like crumble without carbs. Banana extract replaces real bananas to keep carbs ultra-low.

Instructions

Step 1 – Prepare the Cream Base

In a large bowl, beat heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. This step gives the pudding its airy, mousse-like texture.

Step 2 – Mix the Cheesecake Layer

In another bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sweetener until smooth and lump-free.

Step 3 – Add Flavor

Mix banana extract and vanilla into the cream cheese. This creates the authentic banana pudding flavor without using real bananas.

Step 4 – Combine

Gently fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully blended and fluffy.

Step 5 – Make the Crumble

In a small bowl, mix almond flour, melted butter, and sweetener until crumbly and cookie-like.

Step 6 – Assemble Cups

Spoon crumble into the bottom of each serving cup.

Step 7 – Add Pudding

Pipe or spoon banana pudding mixture over the crumble layer.

Step 8 – Repeat Layers

Add another thin crumble layer, then finish with pudding on top.

Step 9 – Finish with Toppings

Sprinkle sugar-free chocolate chips over each cup.

Step 10 – Chill

Refrigerate for 45–60 minutes before serving so flavors set and texture thickens.

Pro Tips for Best Results

Use powdered sweetener to avoid gritty texture. Beat the cream cheese fully before folding in whipped cream. Keep cups chilled for perfect structure.

Flavor Variations

You may add a swirl of peanut butter, toasted coconut flakes, or sugar-free caramel drizzle. These keep carbs low while boosting flavor.

Serving Suggestions

Serve cold after meals, as a party dessert, or for keto meal prep snacks. They are elegant in glass jars for special occasions.

Storage and Meal Prep

Store covered in the refrigerator up to 4 days. These cups hold texture well and actually improve after chilling overnight.
