In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the vanilla instant pudding mix and cold whole milk for 2-3 minutes until thickened. Set aside.
Add the sweetened condensed milk to the pudding mixture and stir until fully integrated.
In a separate mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to whip the heavy whipping cream with the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Beat until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold half of the whipped cream into the pudding mixture until combined. Reserve the other half of the whipped cream for topping.
Peel and slice the bananas into even rounds. If desired, toss the slices in lemon juice to slow browning.
In a 9x13-inch dish (or similar), spread a thin layer of the pudding mixture to coat the bottom.
Add a single layer of vanilla wafers on top of the pudding, followed by a layer of banana slices.
Spread a layer of the pudding mixture on top of the bananas to cover completely.
Repeat the layers (wafers, bananas, pudding) until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of pudding.
Top the final layer with the reserved whipped cream, spreading evenly. Optionally, garnish with crumbled vanilla wafers or banana slices.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to allow the flavors to meld and the wafers to soften.
Serve chilled and enjoy your delectable Blow Your Mind Banana Pudding!
