Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box (5.1 oz) Vanilla pudding mix
- 3 cups Whole milk
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 4 Ripe bananas
- 40 pieces Vanilla wafers
- 1 cup Optional topping: whipped cream
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the vanilla pudding mix and cold milk for 2 minutes until thickened. Cover and refrigerate for 10 minutes to set.
In a separate large bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
Remove the pudding from the refrigerator and gently fold in half of the whipped cream to create a light and creamy pudding mixture.
Peel the bananas and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
Using a large serving dish or trifle bowl, layer the pudding, banana slices, and vanilla wafers. Start with a layer of vanilla wafers at the bottom, followed by a layer of pudding, and then a layer of bananas.
Repeat the layers until all the ingredients are used, ending with a layer of pudding on top.
For an optional topping, spread or pipe the remaining whipped cream over the top layer, and garnish with crumbled vanilla wafers or additional banana slices, if desired.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the wafers to soften.
Serve chilled and enjoy your Banana Wafer Pudding!
