Ingredients
Scale
For the Pudding:
- 1 (3.4 oz) box instant vanilla pudding mix
- 2 cups cold milk
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For Assembly:
- 4 ripe bananas, sliced
- 2 cups vanilla wafer cookies, crushed or whole
- Whipped cream for topping (optional)
- Fresh banana slices or crushed wafers for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Pudding: In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant pudding mix and cold milk until smooth. Let sit for 2 minutes to thicken. Stir in the sweetened condensed milk until well combined.
- Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the pudding mixture until fully incorporated.
- Assemble the Cups: Layer crushed vanilla wafers, banana slices, and pudding mixture in small cups or jars. Repeat layers as desired, finishing with a layer of pudding. Top with whipped cream, crushed wafers, or banana slices.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow flavors to meld and wafers to soften slightly.
Notes
- These cups can be made 1 day ahead and stored covered in the refrigerator.
- For extra texture, reserve some whole wafers for the final layer right before serving.
