- Vanilla Pudding Mix: 1 box (about 3.4 oz)
- Milk: 2 cups (whole milk works best)
- Sweetened Condensed Milk: 1 cup
- Whipped Topping: 1 container (8 oz), or homemade whipped cream
- Bananas: 4 to 5 ripe bananas, sliced
- Vanilla Wafers: About 1 box (approximately 30 cookies)
- Make the Pudding:
- In a large bowl, whisk the vanilla pudding mix and milk together for about 2 minutes until it thickens.
- Combine with Condensed Milk:
- Gently fold in the sweetened condensed milk until fully blended.
- Add Whipped Topping:
- Carefully fold in the whipped topping to keep the mixture fluffy and creamy.
- Layer the Dessert:
- In a large dish, begin with a layer of vanilla wafers at the bottom.
- Add a layer of sliced bananas.
- Spread a layer of the pudding mixture over the bananas.
- Repeat the layers until the dish is full, finishing with the pudding on top.
- Chill:
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
- This allows the flavors to blend and the wafers to soften.
Notes
- Use ripe bananas for optimal sweetness and flavor.
- Allow the pudding to chill longer for a creamier texture.
- Layer the ingredients evenly for the best presentation and balance of flavors.
