Description

Enjoy a creamy and nostalgic Banana Pudding Dessert with layers of ripe bananas, fluffy whipped cream, and crunchy vanilla wafers. Perfect for any occasion, this delightful treat is sure to satisfy your sweet cravings!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe bananas
  • 1 box (5.1 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 2 cups cold milk
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 box (12 oz) vanilla wafers
  • Optional: additional banana slices and crushed vanilla wafers for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, pour in the instant vanilla pudding mix.
  2. Add 2 cups of cold milk to the bowl. Whisk together until thickened, about 2 minutes. Set aside.
  3. In a separate large mixing bowl, pour in 1 cup of heavy whipping cream.
  4. Add 1/2 cup of powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  5. Using an electric mixer, whip on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 3-5 minutes. Avoid over-whipping.
  6. Gently fold the whipped cream into the pudding mixture using a spatula until smooth and well combined.
  7. In a large trifle dish or individual cups, start with a layer of vanilla wafers at the bottom.
  8. Slice one banana and layer the slices over the wafers (use about half of the bananas).
  9. Spoon a generous layer of the pudding mixture over the bananas, spreading evenly.
  10. Repeat the layering process: another layer of vanilla wafers, banana slices, and pudding, for a total of three layers.
  11. Top with the remaining pudding mixture, smoothing it out.
  12. Add a dollop of remaining whipped cream on top.
  13. Garnish with additional banana slices and crushed vanilla wafers if desired.
  14. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  15. When ready to serve, scoop out portions ensuring each serving has layers.
  16. Serve in bowls or on plates, adding more whipped cream on top if desired.
  17. Cover leftovers tightly with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
  18. Avoid freezing, as the texture of bananas and whipped cream may change.

Notes

  • For best flavor, allow the dessert to chill overnight.
  • Feel free to adjust the number of layers based on your dish size.
