Easy Banana Pudding Recipe

A classic no-bake dessert made with layers of creamy vanilla pudding, crisp vanilla wafers, and fresh bananas, all topped with velvety whipped cream

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cold milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 6.8 oz Instant vanilla pudding (two packages, 3.4 oz each)
  • 1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 11 oz vanilla wafers
  • 5 fresh bananas
  • 1 Tbsp powdered sugar, optional

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, beat the cold milk with vanilla extract and vanilla pudding packets until it thickens. Pour in the condensed milk and beat to combine.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Add about two-thirds of the whipped cream into the pudding and gently fold in with a spatula.
  3. Add the powdered sugar into the remaining one-third whipped cream and fold with a spatula to combine. Refrigerate until needed.
  4. Add about 1/4th of the vanilla wafers into the bottom of your trifle bowl and about 1/4th of the bananas.
  5. Spread 1/4 of the pudding over the bananas/wafers. Repeat with the remaining layers until you have four layers.
  6. Add the reserved whipped cream over the top of the pudding and decorate as desired. Cover and refrigerate 2 hours before serving.

Notes

Use ripe but not overripe bananas for the best flavor. For a sweeter result, substitute Cool Whip for whipped cream. This is a no-bake dessert that can be refrigerated up to overnight.
