Indulge in the creamy, nostalgic delight of Quick Banana Pudding, a no-bake dessert that comes together in just 15 minutes! Perfect for busy days or last-minute gatherings, this crowd-pleasing treat layers luscious homemade pudding, fresh banana slices, and crisp vanilla wafer cookies for a classic flavor combination. The velvety pudding is made by blending vanilla instant pudding mix with sweetened condensed milk and a touch of vanilla extract, then lightened with freshly whipped cream for an irresistibly fluffy texture. Each bite is a balance of creamy, fruity, and cookie goodness, made even better after chilling in the fridge to let the flavors meld. Top it off with crumbled vanilla wafers for a picture-perfect presentation. Ideal as a comforting dessert or a show-stopping addition to any potluck, this Quick Banana Pudding is as simple as it is satisfying.
In a mixing bowl, combine the vanilla instant pudding mix and cold milk. Whisk for 2 minutes until thickened and smooth.
Add the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract to the pudding mixture, and whisk until fully blended.
In a separate bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream with a hand mixer until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the pudding mixture until well combined.
Slice the bananas into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
In a serving dish, layer vanilla wafer cookies on the bottom, followed by a layer of banana slices, and then a layer of the pudding mixture.
Repeat the layering process until all ingredients are used, ending with a layer of pudding on top.
Crush a few vanilla wafers and sprinkle them over the top for garnish, if desired.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the cookies to soften.
