Ingredients
  

  • For the Pudding
  • 2 1/4 cups whole milk, cold
  • 1 5- ounce package instant vanilla pudding
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 14- ounce can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 12- ounce container frozen whipped topping, thawed
  • 3 medium bananas, firm but ripe
  • 2 to 3 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 30 vanilla wafer cookies
  • Optional Garnishes
  • 1 banana, sliced
  • Vanilla Wafers
  • Cinnamon sugar, optional
  • Mint leaves, optional

Instructions

  • Prepare the Pudding: Combine the milk and vanilla pudding in a mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer for 2 minutes or whisk vigorously. Let it stand for 5 minutes until set. Add the sweetened condensed milk and mix until thoroughly blended. Fold half of the whipped topping into the pudding mixture.
  • Prepare the Bananas: Peel the bananas and slice them into 1/4-inch rounds. Put them in a bowl and gently toss with the lemon juice to prevent browning.
  • Assemble the Banana Pudding Layers: In a large glass bowl, trifle dish, or individual glass dessert dishes, alternated layers of pudding, sliced bananas, and vanilla wafers. Pipe or spoon the remaining whipped topping over the pudding.
  • Garnish and Serve: Garnish servings as desired with sliced bananas, more vanilla wafers, cinnamon sugar, or mint leaves. Enjoy!
