Healthier Banana Pudding (plant-based & vegan)

Healthier Banana Pudding (plant-based & vegan)
Yield: 2 servings

Made with Silk brand Greek yogurt–so thick, creamy, tangy, not too sweet, and loaded with protein–this dessert is quick, easy, tastes indulgent, and is fun to serve and eat.

2-5.3 ounce containers plant-based Silk Greek style vanilla yogurt (make sure it is Greek style)
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon almond extract
2 bananas, thinly sliced; reserve 2 slices
1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons non-dairy whipped topping Cocowhip

In small bowl, stir together yogurt, sugar, and extracts. *Spread 1/3 yogurt mixture in small clear bowl, top with one sliced banana. Repeat both layers, spread with the last third of yogurt, and then with 1/2 cup non-dairy whipped topping. Top with a dollop of 2 tablespoons more non-dairy whipped topping, 1 tablespoon plant-based graham cracker crumbs, and garnish with reserved 2 slices banana and nuts if desired. Serve immediately or refrigerate until serving time.

*Alternatively, prepare in two clear glass bowls or glasses, like a martini glass or Mason jar. And consider arranging some of the banana slices against the sides of the glass bowl as in the photo below.
