Banana Cream Pie Moonshine
Ingredients
1 box instant banana pudding mix (3.4 oz)
2 cups whole milk
1 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 cups vanilla vodka
1½ cups Everclear (or another high-proof neutral spirit)
Optional: crushed vanilla wafers for garnish
Tip: Use full-fat milk and cream — the richness makes this taste just like banana pie filling. Instant pudding ensures it stays smooth.
Equipment
Mixing bowl
Whisk or electric hand mixer
Large pitcher or measuring cup
Mason jars or glass bottles (wide-mouth jars make pouring easier)
Instructions
Step 1: Mix the Pudding Base
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the banana pudding mix and whole milk for about 2 minutes, until it starts to thicken.
Let it sit for another 2–3 minutes to fully set up.
Step 2: Add the Dairy
Whisk in the sweetened condensed milk, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until fully combined and smooth.
Step 3: Add the Booze
Stir in the vanilla vodka and Everclear.
Mix well to combine — you want a smooth, silky texture without lumps.
Note: You can tweak the alcohol ratio to your liking — more vodka for a creamy cocktail vibe, more Everclear for a stronger bite.
Step 4: Bottle It Up
Pour into clean mason jars or glass bottles and seal tightly.
Chill for at least 12 hours before drinking to let the flavors meld and the texture settle.
Storing and Serving
Storage: Keep refrigerated. Because of the dairy, this moonshine is best consumed within 2 weeks.
Shake Before Serving: Shake well before each pour — the pudding and cream will settle over time.
Serving Ideas: Serve chilled in small glasses, over crushed ice, or topped with whipped cream and a crushed vanilla wafer rim for a full dessert effect.
Final Thoughts
Banana Cream Pie Moonshine is creamy, dreamy, and absolutely indulgent.
It’s a fun, nostalgic drink that feels like something between a milkshake and a nightcap — perfect for dessert tables, holiday gifts, or your secret fridge stash. Cheers!
