I would assume that “niller” is short for vanilla pudding and “nanner” is short for banana pudding. 🤓

I agree. Nilla pudding is also called “mock banana pudding” but uses no bananas. Nanna pudding uses bananas. Two different things that may taste similar…but aren’t!
 
You need to try niller-nanner swirl.

Topped with chocky sauce
 
Is this a London dialect, or Aussie?

Pardon me for associating the two.
 
It’s a southern dialect. My grandmother used to make ‘niller puddin’ from the recipe on the box of nilla wafers. Then one day when I was working a buffet at a country club in the Blue Ridge mountains, one of the bus boys proclaimed, “I’m gonna eat me a big ole bowl of nanner puddin”, and I thought to myself, “That ain’t nanner puddin, that’s niller puddin”.
 
The recipe on the box did have bananas in it.

Maybe the “nanner” one had different type of cookies in it.
 
… I would consider “niller” pudding the banana flavored pudding from a box with crunched up ‘Nilla wafers’ in it. But Nanner Pudding is banana pudding… with sliced bananas in it! 🙂

Not culturally nationally Aussie, I have never heard the term until this enlightening thread.

If you can combine either niller or nanner pudd’n with nilla wafers or nanner slices, there are four combinations: niller-nilla, niller-nanner, nanner-nilla, and nanner-nanner.

… 🤔 …

Nanu-Nanu!
