Instructions

In a large bowl whisk together the water, milk, and sweetened condensed milk. Add the instant vanilla pudding mix and whisk well for 1 minute until smooth.

1 cup cold water, ½ cup milk, 10 ounces sweetened condensed milk, 1 package instant vanilla pudding mix

Place the whipping cream in another bowl. Using an electric handheld mixer, whip the cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the pudding mixture until smooth.

Layer the pudding mixture, wafer cookies, and sliced bananas into desired serving dishes or 9X13-inch pan starting with a small layer of pudding, then wafers, then more pudding, then bananas, then more pudding, then wafers again, finishing with the last of the pudding on top.

In another bowl, combine the whipping cream and powdered sugar. Using an electric handheld mixer, whip the sweetened cream until soft peaks form. Top the layered banana pudding with the whipped cream. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or until the wafers are soft. Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Banana Ripeness Matters 🍌
Use perfectly ripe bananas with brown speckles for the most intense flavor and natural sweetness in your pudding.
Layer Like a Pro 🏰
Create distinct layers by chilling each layer for 15-20 minutes before adding the next, ensuring clean and beautiful presentation.
Cream Whipping Technique 🥄
Chill your mixing bowl and whisk beforehand to achieve perfectly stiff peaks when whipping cream for a lighter, fluffier texture.
Wafer Absorption Trick 🍪
Slightly crush some wafer cookies and mix them into the pudding layer for added texture and to prevent soggy bottom layers.
Overnight Magic ❄️
Always refrigerate the banana pudding for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow flavors to meld and develop a perfect creamy consistency.
