Ingredients

• 1 box (5.1 oz) Vanilla pudding mix
• 3 cups Whole milk
• 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 4 Ripe bananas
• 40 pieces Vanilla wafers
• 1 cup Optional topping: whipped cream

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the vanilla pudding mix and cold milk for 2 minutes until thickened. Cover and refrigerate for 10 minutes to set.

Step 2

In a separate large bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Set aside.

Step 3

Remove the pudding from the refrigerator and gently fold in half of the whipped cream to create a light and creamy pudding mixture.

Step 4

Peel the bananas and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds.

Step 5

Using a large serving dish or trifle bowl, layer the pudding, banana slices, and vanilla wafers. Start with a layer of vanilla wafers at the bottom, followed by a layer of pudding, and then a layer of bananas.

Step 6

Repeat the layers until all the ingredients are used, ending with a layer of pudding on top.

Step 7

For an optional topping, spread or pipe the remaining whipped cream over the top layer, and garnish with crumbled vanilla wafers or additional banana slices, if desired.

Step 8

Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the wafers to soften.

Step 9

Serve chilled and enjoy your Banana Wafer Pudding!
