Ingredients

• 1 box (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
• 2 cups cold whole milk
• 14 oz (1 can) sweetened condensed milk
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 45 pieces (approx.) vanilla wafers
• 4 medium ripe bananas
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and cold whole milk until smooth and thickened (2-3 minutes).

Step 2

Add the sweetened condensed milk to the pudding mixture and whisk until fully incorporated. Set aside.

Step 3

In a separate large mixing bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream with vanilla extract and optional powdered sugar (if a sweeter pudding is desired) until stiff peaks form.

Step 4

Gently fold the whipped cream into the pudding mixture using a spatula, ensuring a smooth and creamy consistency without deflating the whipped cream.

Step 5

Slice the ripe bananas into 1/4-inch thick rounds.

Step 6

In an 8x8-inch dish or a deep glass bowl, create the first layer by lining the bottom with vanilla wafers.

Step 7

Top the wafers with a single layer of banana slices, followed by a layer of the creamy pudding mixture. Spread the pudding evenly using the back of a spoon or spatula.

Step 8

Repeat the layering process (wafers, bananas, pudding) until all ingredients are used, finishing the top layer with pudding.

Step 9

Crush a few vanilla wafers and sprinkle them over the top for decoration (optional).

Step 10

Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the wafers to soften.

Step 11

Serve chilled and enjoy!
