Ingredients
Scale
For the pudding:
- 1 (5.1 oz) box instant vanilla pudding mix
- 3 cups cold milk
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream
For layering:
- 1 box vanilla wafer cookies
- 3–4 ripe bananas (sliced)
- whipped cream or crushed cookies for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the pudding: In a large bowl, whisk together the pudding mix and cold milk until thickened, about 2 minutes. Stir in the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Whip the cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold it into the pudding mixture.
- Assemble the cups: Layer vanilla wafers, banana slices, and pudding mixture in small clear cups or jars. Repeat layers until the cups are full, ending with pudding. Top with whipped cream or crushed cookies, if desired.
- Chill and serve: Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow flavors to meld and cookies to soften.
Notes
- For a firmer texture, assemble just before serving.
- To prevent browning, lightly coat banana slices in lemon juice if prepping ahead.
