8 ingredients
  • 2 cups cold whole milk (480ml)
  • 1 (14-ounce/397g) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 (5.1-ounce/144g) box instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 3 cups heavy whipping cream (divided (720ml))

  • 3 teaspoons vanilla extract (divided)

  • 5 large bananas

Method

12 steps
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups cold whole milk and the sweetened condensed milk until smooth.
  2. Sprinkle in the instant vanilla pudding mix and whisk until completely incorporated with no lumps remaining.
  3. Refrigerate the pudding mixture for 5 minutes, or until set.
  4. Whip 2 cups cold heavy cream with 2 tablespoons sugar and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
  5. Fold the whipped cream gently into the set pudding mixture until evenly combined.
  6. Peel the bananas immediately before assembly and slice them into 1/2-inch rounds.
  7. Arrange a layer of vanilla wafer cookies in the bottom of a trifle dish or large serving bowl, then spread one-quarter of the pudding mixture over them.
  8. Add another layer of cookies followed by banana slices and another quarter of the pudding mixture.
  9. Continue layering the cookies, bananas and pudding until complete.
  10. Refrigerate the assembled banana pudding for 3 hours.
  11. Before serving, whip the remaining 1 cup heavy cream with 1 tablespoon sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes.
  12. Top with the whipped cream and garnish with remaining whole or crumbled cookies and banana slices, if desired.
