1. Prepare the instant vanilla pudding by whisking together the pudding mix and cold milk in a medium-sized bowl. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 5 minutes to set.
2. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream using an electric mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and continue whipping until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
3. Slice the pound cake into 1/2-inch thick slices, then cut each slice into bite-sized cubes. Peel and slice the bananas into thin rounds.
4. In a trifle dish, glass bowl, or individual serving glasses, assemble the layers: start with a layer of pound cake cubes, followed by a layer of pudding, a layer of banana slices, and a layer of whipped cream. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of whipped cream on top.
5. Optionally, garnish the top with vanilla wafer cookies for added texture and flavor.
6. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together.
7. Serve chilled and enjoy!
