Servings: 12

Ingredients

  • 3.4 ounces instant vanilla pudding
  • 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 1/2 cups cold milk
  • 4 ripe bananas
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 12 ounces vanilla wafers/cookies
  • 3 cups heavy whipping cream

Instructions

  • Begin by mixing together the instant pudding with the sweetened condensed milk and the cold milk. Whisk until combined, place in an airtight container and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Make the whip cream by whisking the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Fold whipped cream into pudding, then begin layering the dessert.
  • When ready to assemble your dessert, slice the bananas and cover with lemon juice to prevent browning. Set aside.
  • Layer your banana pudding by beginning with vanilla wafers, then bananas, and finally the pudding. Repeat for two more layers. This can be done in a trifle bowl or individual cups or mason jars.
  • Finally, top with any remaining cookies or bananas to garnish. Serve or refrigerate.
  • Dessert will hold for a few days, but the bananas will continue to get brown and mushy. Best if served within 8 hours of assembling the trifle!
