Prep Time 20 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes
Servings 12 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 14oz can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 1/2 cups ice cold water
  • 2 3.4oz boxes of vanilla instant pudding make sure it's instant and not cook and serve
  • 3 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 11oz box Nilla Wafers set some aside to garnish if desired
  • 5 barely ripe bananas set some aside to garnish if desired

Instructions

  • Whisk together the sweetened condensed milk and the ice-cold water. Using a hand held electric mixer, gradually pour and blend in one box of the dry pudding mix with sweetened condensed milk and the ice-cold water mixture until it is smooth. Cover the pudding mixture and refrigerate it for at least 3 hours. (it may be left overnight)
  • In a large bowl, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. This will take around 3 minutes because it’s such a large amount of heavy cream. The cream will begin to thicken and get frothy, just keep beating on a high speed until set up and stiff. Blend in the vanilla extract.
  • Next, fold pudding into the whipped cream. Once everything is combined, add 5 tablespoons of dry vanilla pudding (from the second package)and beat until you get a fluffier consistency.
  • Assemble the dessert in a clear glass trifle bowl. Layer ⅓  of the pudding, ⅓ of nilla the wafers, and ⅓of the bananas.  Repeat this again, then finish with a heaping layer of pudding.  Make sure all of the bananas are completely covered or they may turn brown more quickly.
  • After assembling, chill for at least 4 hours to allow the vanilla wafers to soften up. Garnish with nilla wafers crumbs and sliced bananas as you are serving.
