Servings: 10
Calories: 619kcal
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole milk, cold
- 5.1 ounces instant vanilla pudding mix
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 3 cups heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 11 ounces vanilla wafer cookies (like Nilla)
- 4 large bananas, sliced
Instructions
- Whisk together the pudding mix and milk in a large bowl.
- Then, add the sweetened condensed milk and whisk again until it thickens.
- In a separate bowl (or using a stand mixer with whisk attachment), whisk together the heavy cream and vanilla extract until it reaches stiff peaks.
- Gently fold about two-thirds of the whipped cream into to the pudding mixture until it all comes together and it's a uniform color (the rest of the whipped cream will be used for a topping!).
- Finally, in a large bowl (or a mason jar or glass for individual servings), first place a few wafer cookies in the bottom, followed by banana slices, then finally the pudding...and repeat once more. Top with whipped cream and a few cookie crumbles, grab a spoon, and enjoy!
- Although you can certainly enjoy this pudding right away, it tastes best when covered and refrigerated for a few hours first.
Notes
- Storage: When kept covered in the fridge, this homemade banana pudding will stay good for about 5 days.
- Suggestion: If you enjoyed this, then you're gonna love my cheesecake mousse!
