These Banana Pudding Brownies combine the rich, fudgy texture of classic brownies with a creamy, banana-flavored pudding layer on top. Perfect for dessert lovers who enjoy the best of both worlds, this recipe yields moist, chocolatey brownies topped with a luscious banana pudding layer that sets beautifully after baking.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 16 servings

Ingredients

Brownie Layer

  • ½ cup melted butter
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup flour
  • ½ cup cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Pudding Layer

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1 (5 oz) banana pudding mix (cook and serve type)
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×9 inch baking pan with parchment paper to ensure easy removal and cleanup.
  2. Mix brownie wet ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until combined, then add eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
  3. Add dry ingredients to brownie batter: Gradually add the flour, cocoa powder, and salt to the wet mixture, stirring until a thick, smooth batter forms.
  4. Spread brownie batter: Evenly spread the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, making sure it covers the bottom uniformly for an even bake.
  5. Prepare pudding mixture: Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, beat the softened cream cheese with the banana pudding mix until smooth and creamy.
  6. Add remaining pudding ingredients: Add the egg and milk to the cream cheese mixture and continue beating until completely combined and silky smooth.
  7. Assemble layers: Pour the pudding mixture evenly over the brownie layer in the pan, smoothing the top to cover the surface.
  8. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the pudding layer is set and no longer jiggles when the pan is gently shaken.
  9. Cool and slice: Allow the brownies to cool completely at room temperature before removing them from the pan. Once cooled, slice into 16 squares and serve.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easy mixing and a smooth pudding layer.
  • The banana pudding mix must be the cook and serve type—not instant pudding—to ensure proper setting when baked.
  • Allow the brownies to cool completely before slicing to prevent the pudding layer from breaking apart.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • For extra flavor, consider adding sliced bananas on top after baking and cooling (optional).
