Matilda Djerf & Francesca Aiello's Banana Cream Shake (Erewhon Copycat)

Two fashion influencers made a banana pudding smoothie and called it a shake, which is honestly the most accurate naming in the entire Erewhon lineup. The Banana Cream Shake tastes exactly like liquid banana pudding. It's sweet, creamy, vanilla-heavy, and topped with vanilla wafer crumbles because at that point why not just commit to the bit entirely. It's the dessert smoothie of the Erewhon collection. If the Hailey Bieber is the wellness smoothie and the Kourtney is the goth smoothie, this is the one that stopped pretending to be healthy and just became a milkshake with good ingredients. This is the exact recipe. Same banana pudding flavor, same wafer crumble topping, same unapologetic sweetness. Make it when you want dessert for breakfast and don't feel like explaining yourself to anyone.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond or oat milk
  • 2 frozen ripe bananas (the riper the sweeter)
  • 2 tablespoons coconut cream
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of cinnamon
  • FOR THE TOP:
  • Coconut whipped cream
  • 4-5 vanilla wafer cookies, crushed

Instructions

  1. 1

    Blend the shake

    Add the milk, frozen bananas, coconut cream, protein powder, maple syrup, vanilla, and cinnamon to your blender. Blend on high for 45 seconds until thick and creamy. This should be the consistency of a thick milkshake. The double banana makes it extremely banana-forward, which is the point.

  2. 2

    Top it like banana pudding

    Pour into your cup. Pile coconut whipped cream on top. Crush the vanilla wafers and scatter them over the cream. The wafer crumbles on white cream on a pale yellow shake is the banana pudding visual complete.

  3. 3

    Serve

    Drink it with a wide straw. The wafer pieces will soften quickly, which actually makes them taste more like the soggy wafers in real banana pudding. That's either a feature or a flaw depending on your relationship with banana pudding.

Baker's Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas with brown spots. They're sweeter and more banana-flavored than yellow bananas. Freeze them in chunks when they get spotty so you always have them ready.
  • Vanilla wafers are Nilla Wafers or any store brand equivalent. Crush them right before topping, not ahead of time. Pre-crushed wafers absorb moisture and turn to paste.
  • This is the sweetest smoothie in the Erewhon collection. If you want to dial it back, reduce the maple syrup and use one banana instead of two. But at that point you're kind of fighting the concept.
  • A pinch of cinnamon does more than you'd think. It bridges the vanilla and banana flavors in a way that makes the whole thing taste more like baked banana pudding.

FAQ

Is this a smoothie or a milkshake?
Yes. It exists in the space between the two. Erewhon called it a shake, not a smoothie, which is the most honest thing they've done. It tastes like dessert and has protein powder in it. Draw your own conclusions.
Can I use real banana pudding mix?
You could, but then you're just making banana pudding in a cup with extra steps. The point of this recipe is getting the banana pudding flavor from whole ingredients: ripe bananas, vanilla, and coconut cream. It's cleaner and tastes more natural.
