Ingredients

• 4 medium ripe bananas
• 1 box Mini Nilla Wafers
• 3.4 oz instant vanilla pudding mix
• 2 cups cold whole milk
• 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 2 tbsp powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the instant vanilla pudding mix, cold whole milk, and sweetened condensed milk. Whisk for about 2 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly. Refrigerate for at least 10 minutes to allow it to set.

Step 2

In a separate chilled mixing bowl, pour in the heavy whipping cream. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Using a hand mixer, beat on medium speed until stiff peaks form. This will take about 3-5 minutes. Set aside for assembly.

Step 3

Slice the bananas into thin, even rounds and set them aside.

Step 4

Begin assembling the dessert in a 9x13-inch dish (or individual cups for single servings). Start with a layer of Mini Nilla Wafers at the base of the dish.

Step 5

Add a layer of sliced bananas over the wafers, spreading them evenly.

Step 6

Gently fold about half of the prepared whipped cream into the chilled pudding mixture to lighten it, creating a fluffy pudding layer.

Step 7

Spread a layer of the fluffy pudding mixture over the bananas, ensuring even coverage.

Step 8

Repeat the layering process (Mini Nilla Wafers, bananas, pudding) until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of whipped cream on top.

Step 9

Crush a handful of Mini Nilla Wafers and sprinkle the crumbs over the top layer for garnish.

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 a classic Southern treat!
