Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 packages (3.4 oz each) vanilla pudding mix
- 4 cups cold milk
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 16 oz whipped topping (thawed)
- 4 medium bananas
- 12 oz vanilla wafers
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the vanilla pudding mix and cold milk. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and thickened (about 2 minutes).
Add the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract to the pudding mixture. Whisk until fully incorporated.
Gently fold in 12 oz of whipped topping into the pudding mixture until creamy and smooth. Reserve the remaining whipped topping for garnish.
Peel and slice the bananas into thin rounds.
In a 9x13-inch dish or a large trifle bowl, arrange a layer of vanilla wafers at the base.
Spread a third of the pudding mixture over the layer of wafers, smoothing it out evenly.
Place a single layer of banana slices over the pudding, ensuring each piece of banana is evenly distributed.
Repeat the layers of wafers, pudding, and bananas two more times, ending with a pudding layer on top.
Spread the reserved whipped topping evenly over the final pudding layer for a smooth finish.
Crush a few vanilla wafers and sprinkle them over the top as garnish.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to blend.
Serve chilled and enjoy this creamy, sweet treat!
