Easy Banana Pudding Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 cups cold milk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 6.8 oz Instant vanilla pudding ((two packages, 3.4 oz each))
• 1 14 oz sweetened condensed milk (or add to taste*)
• 2 cups heavy whipping cream
• 11 oz vanilla wafers
• 5 fresh bananas
• 1 Tbsp powdered sugar (optional)

Steps

1. 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. 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 in with a spatula.

3. 3

   Add the powdered sugar into the remaining one-third whipped cream and fold with a spatula to combine. Refrigerate until needed.

4. 4

   Add about 1/4th of the vanilla wafers into the bottom of your trifle bowl and about 1/4th of the bananas.

5. 5

   Spread 1/4 of the pudding over the bananas/wafers. Repeat with the remaining layers until you have four layers.

6. 6

   Add the reserved whipped cream over the top of the pudding and decorate as desired. Cover and refrigerate 2 hours before serving.
