If you’ve been scrolling through TikTok or walking past trendy dessert cafés in Malaysia lately, chances are you’ve seen this banana pudding that’s gone totally VIRAL 🍌🔥
People are lining up to buy it — especially in KL and JB — and cafés are even putting a “sold out” sign by 2 PM. But here’s the secret:
You can make the exact same thing at home in under 30 minutes. No oven. No fancy tools. Just pure creamy goodness.
🍮 What You’ll Need
Custard Base
- ½ cup custard powder
- ⅓ cup sugar
- 2 cups fresh milk
- 1 cup whipping cream
- A pinch of salt
- A small knob of butter
- ½ tsp vanilla paste or extract
🧠 Why it’s viral: The combo creates a rich, creamy base that holds up beautifully when chilled — just like what you’d get in cafés, minus the price tag.
Fluffy Whipped Cream
- 2 cups cold whipping cream
- 2 tbsp icing sugar
🧠 Tip: Chill your mixing bowl first. It helps the cream whip faster and stay stable longer — especially in Malaysian heat!
Assembly Goodies
- Bananas – slice medium thick so they don’t turn mushy
- Vanilla wafers or Marie biscuits – easily found at Lotus’s, Mydin, or your local kedai runcit
🏗️ How To Make Banana Pudding at Home
- Cook the custard
Whisk together custard powder, sugar, milk, and cream in a saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly until it thickens. Add butter and vanilla. Let it cool completely. - Whip the cream
Beat cold whipping cream with icing sugar until soft peaks form. - Fold & Combine
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cooled custard for that dreamy, mousse-like texture. - Layer like a pro
In a container or cup:
- Biscuits
- Bananas
- Custard mix
- Repeat layers
- Finish with extra whipped cream and crushed biscuits for texture

- Chill it good
Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight. The longer it sits, the better it gets 😮💨
