Ingredients

• 396 grams Sweetened condensed milk
• 475 ml Ice-cold water
• 102 grams Instant vanilla pudding mix
• 710 ml Heavy cream
• 300 grams Vanilla wafers
• 4 large Ripe bananas

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and ice-cold water. Whisk together until well mixed.

Step 2

Add the instant vanilla pudding mix to the mixture. Whisk thoroughly to ensure there are no lumps.

Step 3

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. This allows the pudding mixture to set properly.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream using a mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overbeat.

Step 5

Gently fold the whipped cream into the chilled pudding mixture. Use a spatula to combine, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.

Step 6

In a large trifle dish or individual serving cups, begin assembling the layers. Start with an even layer of vanilla wafers at the bottom.

Step 7

Slice the bananas into thin, even rounds and layer them over the wafers.

Step 8

Spread a layer of the pudding mixture over the banana slices. Ensure the layers are smooth and even.

Step 9

Repeat the layering process—wafers, bananas, pudding—until the dish is full. Finish with a layer of pudding on top.

Step 10

Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the wafers to soften.

Step 11

Optional: Garnish the top with crushed vanilla wafers or a few banana slices just before serving for presentation.
