Ingredients

2 cups cold whole milk

1 (3.4 oz) package instant vanilla pudding mix

1 cup heavy whipping cream

2 tablespoons powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

4 ripe bananas, sliced

1 box vanilla wafers

Whipped cream for topping (optional)


Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Pudding

In a large bowl, whisk together the cold milk and instant vanilla pudding mix for about 2 minutes until thickened. Refrigerate for 5 minutes.


Step 2: Make the Whipped Cream

In another bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.


Step 3: Fold Together

Gently fold the whipped cream into the chilled vanilla pudding until smooth and fluffy.


Step 4: Assemble the Layers

In a trifle dish or serving bowl:

Add a layer of vanilla wafers.

Top with sliced bananas.

Spread a layer of pudding mixture.

Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used.

Finish with pudding and garnish with crushed vanilla wafers and banana slices.


Step 5: Chill

Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best flavor.


Tips for the Best Banana Pudding

Use ripe but firm bananas to prevent mushiness.

Chill overnight for softer cookies and richer flavor.

Add a drizzle of caramel sauce for extra indulgence.

Garnish just before serving to keep bananas looking fresh.


Delicious Variations

Chocolate Banana Pudding: Add chocolate pudding between layers.

Peanut Butter Banana Pudding: Mix peanut butter into the pudding.

Strawberry Banana Pudding: Add fresh sliced strawberries.

Cheesecake Banana Pudding: Fold softened cream cheese into the pudding.

Caramel Banana Pudding: Add dulce de leche between layers.
