🍌 Banana Pudding Squares Recipe: A No-Bake Dessert from Your Local Grocery Deli

Ingles Markets in Jasper is sharing a homemade dessert recipe that puts their deli’s signature banana pudding front and center. The recipe combines store-bought convenience with fresh ingredients for a make-ahead treat that serves 12-perfect for family gatherings, potlucks, or holiday tables across Marion County and the surrounding region.

📋 What’s in the Recipe

The Banana Pudding Squares feature a buttery honey graham cracker crust as the foundation, topped with layers of fresh bananas, chopped Oreo cookies, and a creamy filling made from Ingles deli homestyle banana pudding blended with cream cheese, vanilla, and whipped topping. 🥣 The finished squares are garnished with a piped dollop of whipped cream and a maraschino cherry on each piece.

💡 Why Make-Ahead Matters

The recipe is designed to be prepared the night before serving, which means less stress on the day of your event. ✨ The filling requires at least four hours of chilling time, allowing flavors to meld and the texture to set properly. No oven time is needed beyond the initial 10-minute bake for the crust, making this an accessible option for home cooks of any skill level.
