Description

This simple homemade banana pudding is rich, creamy, and piled with sliced fresh bananas, vanilla pudding, and wafers. This is a classic Southern dessert, perfect for potlucks, holidays, or any sweet craving!

Ingredients

2 cups Cold Milk
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
6.8 oz Instant Vanilla Pudding (Two Packages, 3.4 oz each)
14 oz Sweetened Condensed Milk
2 cups Heavy Whipping Cream
11 oz Vanilla Wafers
5 Fresh Bananas
1 tbsp Powdered Sugar

Instructions

1
In a large bowl, beat the cold milk with vanilla extract and vanilla pudding packets until it thickens. Pour in the condensed milk and beat to combine.
2
In a separate bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Add about two-thirds of the whipped cream into the pudding and gently fold it in with a spatula.
3
Add the powdered sugar into the remaining one-third whipped cream and fold with a spatula to combine. Refrigerate until needed.
4
In the bottom of your trifle bowl, place 1/4 vanilla wafers and 1/4 bananas.
5
Spread 1/4 of the pudding over the bananas/wafers. Repeat with the remaining layers until you have four layers.
6
Add the reserved whipped cream over the top of the pudding and decorate as desired. Cover and refrigerate 2 hours before serving.

Note

Make Ahead—assemble up to 24 hours in advance. Cover and store in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Enjoy the dessert within two days of making it.
Be sure to use INSTANT pudding mix.
For a less sweet banana pudding, use half of the sweetened condensed milk or add it to taste. Keep in mind that adding the whipped cream also mellows out the sweetness.
For single-serving desserts, assemble them in small cups or bowls using a piping bag to layer.
