No-Bake Banana Bread Tiramisu
September 11, 2026
This recipe is so easy, it’s bananas!
This recipe elevates the classic banana bread into an ultra-easy tiramisu. Think of it as banana bread’s sophisticated older sister. In this recipe, the mascarpone cheese and pudding mix make the dessert oh-so-moist, while the coffee and bourbon balance the sweetness of the bananas with subtle acidity. The banana pudding is reminiscent of banana cream pie, which brings three classic flavors into one dish. With L&B Banana Bread Sliced Loaf, this delectable dish only requires 30 minutes of prep for days of sweetness. The result is an incredible, delectable, can’t-have-just-one-piece type of dessert that you can bring to parties or bake sales—or keep as an easy at-home treat (though be warned…it won’t last long)!
