Ingredients
- 1 14-ounce can of velvety sweetened condensed milk
- 3 medium-ripe bananas
- 36 artisanal vanilla wafers
- 1 packet of premium instant vanilla pudding mix
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 1/2 cups cold water
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together condensed milk and cold water. Pour the vanilla pudding mix and beat at medium speed for 2 minutes. Chill in the fridge for 5 minutes.
- Gently mix in the heavy cream with a rubber spatula. Arrange 1/3 of the vanilla wafers into a single layer in a large trifle bowl or glass. Slice one banana thinly and layer it on top of the wafers. Top it with 1/3 of the pudding layer. Repeat layering twice more, ending with the pudding.
- Chill the dessert for 1 hour. Sprinkle with fruits or nuts, if desired. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- When making the pudding mixture, be sure to stir it frequently so that it doesn't become lumpy.
- If you have time, freeze the banana pudding overnight before serving. This will make it easier to slice and serve.
- If you want a richer flavor, try adding a bit of vanilla extract or almond extract.
- For an extra crunchy texture, sprinkle some crushed vanilla wafers on top.
- Also, if you're serving this to a large crowd, consider doubling the recipe. This will ensure that everyone gets enough.
