Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3.4 oz vanilla instant pudding mix
- 2 cups cold milk
- 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 4 bananas
- 12 oz vanilla wafer cookies
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the vanilla instant pudding mix and cold milk. Whisk for 2 minutes until thickened and smooth.
Add the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract to the pudding mixture, and whisk until fully blended.
In a separate bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream with a hand mixer until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the pudding mixture until well combined.
Slice the bananas into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
In a serving dish, layer vanilla wafer cookies on the bottom, followed by a layer of banana slices, and then a layer of the pudding mixture.
Repeat the layering process until all ingredients are used, ending with a layer of pudding on top.
Crush a few vanilla wafers and sprinkle them over the top for garnish, if desired.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the cookies to soften.
