In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar-free vanilla pudding mix and low-fat milk until smooth. Let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
Stir in the vanilla extract and gently fold in the sugar-free whipped topping until well combined. Set the mixture aside.
Slice the ripe bananas into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
In a 2-quart serving dish or individual parfait glasses, start layering: begin with a layer of sugar-free vanilla wafers, followed by a layer of sliced bananas, then a layer of the pudding mixture.
Repeat the layers until all the ingredients are used, finishing with a pudding layer on top.
Crush 2-3 vanilla wafers and sprinkle the crumbs over the top for a decorative finish.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled and enjoy this guilt-free, diabetic-friendly dessert!
