Ingredients
- 2 packages (3.4 oz each) Vanilla pudding mix
- 4 cups Milk
- 1 can (14 oz) Sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 cups Heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 5 medium Bananas
- 12 ounces Vanilla wafers
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the vanilla pudding mix and milk until smooth and thickened, about 2 minutes.
Step 2
Stir in the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract to the pudding mixture. Mix well to combine.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Reserve 1 cup of the whipped cream for topping.
Step 4
Gently fold the remaining whipped cream into the vanilla pudding mixture until no streaks remain. Set aside.
Step 5
Peel the bananas and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
Step 6
In a 9x13-inch dish (or any large serving dish), create a layer of vanilla wafers along the bottom.
Step 7
Spread a third of the pudding mixture evenly over the vanilla wafers.
Step 8
Top the pudding with a layer of sliced bananas, then another layer of vanilla wafers.
Step 9
Repeat this layering process (pudding, bananas, wafers) until all the ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of pudding on top.
Step 10
Spread the reserved whipped cream evenly over the top layer of pudding.
Step 11
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the wafers to soften.
Step 12
Before serving, optionally garnish with additional banana slices and crushed vanilla wafers. Serve chilled and enjoy!
