Ingredients

1 can sweetened condensed milk 14 oz
1 box instant vanilla pudding mix 3.4 oz (96g)
1 ½ cups cold milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups whipped topping or whipped cream
4 large bananas sliced
1 box vanilla wafers about 11 oz

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla pudding mix, cold milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes to thicken.
Fold in 2 cups of whipped topping until fully incorporated.
In a serving dish or trifle bowl, layer vanilla wafers on the bottom.
Add a layer of banana slices over the wafers.
Spread a layer of the pudding mixture on top.
Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, ending with a layer of pudding.
Top with the remaining whipped topping and garnish with crushed vanilla wafers and extra banana slices if desired.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving for the best flavor.

Notes

For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of cinnamon or a drizzle of caramel on top. Use freshly whipped cream for a homemade touch. Best enjoyed within 24 hours to keep the bananas fresh.
