INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups cold milk
• 1 [5-ounce] package of instant vanilla pudding mix
• 1 [14-ounce] can of sweetened condensed milk
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

• 1 [12-ounce] container of frozen whipped topping, thawed
• 1 |16-ounce] package of vanilla wafers
• 14 bananas, sliced

INSTRUCTIONS

Mix the cold milk, vanilla extract, and vanilla pudding in a large bowl until the mixture thickens. Pour the condensed milk in and stir with a whisk to mix.
Beat the heavy whipping cream in a separate bowl until stiff peaks form. About two-thirds of the whipped cream should be folded into the pudding gently with a spatula.
Mix the powdered sugar into the last one-third of the whipped cream with a spatula. Refrigerate until needed.
Put about a quarter of the vanilla wafers and a quarter of the bananas in the bottom of your trifle bowl.
Put a quarter of the pudding on top of the bananas and wafers. Repeat with the other layers until you have a total of four.
Spread the whipped cream you saved on top of the pudding and decorate as you like. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours before serving.

• Sweetened condensed milk: This banana pudding, like many of the best desserts, has a can of sweetened condensed milk.

Vanilla: Vanilla extract makes the banana pudding taste better.
• Frozen whipped topping: Mix frozen whipped topping (like Cool Whip) into the pudding mixture to give it a rich, fluffy texture.

• Bananas: You’ll need bananas, of course! They should be cut up right before you put the pudding together.

How to Keep Banana Dessert

Banana pudding is difficult to freeze. Due to the simplicity of this recipe, making it just before serving shouldn’t be a problem! You can rely on us: There will be no leftovers.

Common Questions

Can vanilla wafers be substituted?

Graham crackers, butter cookies, and possibly even animal crackers.

How can bananas be kept from browning?

Bananas will brown rapidly when exposed to air, so keep them completely covered in pudding. Add the bananas just before serving, or leave them off altogether.

Can I replace whipped cream with a cool whip?

Cool whip is a great substitute for whipped cream, but it has a slightly sweeter flavor than whipped cream.

What is the origin of banana pudding?

This recipe is a well-known Southern dish in the United States. It was traditionally made with homemade custard, but the no-cook variation has gained popularity among modern home cooks.
