In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the vanilla instant pudding mix and cold milk for 2 minutes, or until the pudding begins to thicken. Set it aside to firm up while preparing other ingredients.
In a separate large mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until medium-stiff peaks form. Reserve about half of the whipped cream for layering later.
Fold the sweetened condensed milk gently into the remaining whipped cream to create a rich and creamy mixture.
In a small bowl, mix the crushed graham crackers with the melted butter until evenly coated. This will serve as the crust layer in the trifle.
Peel and slice the bananas into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Set aside.
In a large trifle dish (or individual serving glasses), start layering the ingredients. Begin with a layer of the graham cracker mixture, pressing it gently to create an even base.
Add a layer of sliced bananas over the graham cracker crust, followed by a layer of the whipped cream and condensed milk mixture.
Spread a layer of the prepared vanilla pudding over the cream, then repeat the layers: graham cracker crumbs, bananas, whipped cream mixture, and pudding.
Finish with a dollop of the reserved whipped cream on top and sprinkle any remaining crushed graham crackers as garnish.
Refrigerate the trifle for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve chilled and enjoy!
