Ingredients
  

Banana Pudding

  • 2 large ripe bananas sliced
  • 1 package instant vanilla pudding mix 3.4 oz
  • 2 cups cold milk
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk 14 oz
  • 1 container whipped topping 8 oz, thawed
  • 1 box vanilla wafers about 11 oz

Instructions
 

  • Whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk in a large bowl until thick and smooth.
  • Add sweetened condensed milk, then fold in whipped topping until fully combined and creamy.
  • In a glass trifle dish or individual cups, layer vanilla wafers at the bottom.
  • Add a layer of sliced bananas, then spoon over the creamy pudding mixture.
  • Repeat the layers until the dish is full, finishing with pudding and a sprinkle of crushed wafers on top.
  • Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the pudding to set and flavors to meld.

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas for best flavor.
  • Chill thoroughly before serving.
  • For a banana-free version, skip the fruit and double the wafers or use banana extract.
