Bananas
- 4 ripe bananas, sliced
Vanilla Pudding Mix
- 1 box (3.4 oz) vanilla pudding mix
Milk
- 2 cups whole milk
Whipped Topping
- 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping
Vanilla Wafers
- 1 box (11 oz) vanilla wafers
Instructions
- Prepare the Pudding: In a large bowl, whisk together the vanilla pudding mix and milk until it thickens, usually about 2 minutes. Let it sit for a few minutes to firm up.
- Layer the Ingredients: In a trifle dish or a large glass bowl, start layering your ingredients. Begin with a layer of vanilla wafers, followed by sliced bananas, and then a layer of the prepared pudding.
- Repeat the Layers: Continue to layer the ingredients until you run out, finishing with a layer of pudding on top. Spread the whipped topping over the final layer for a beautiful finish.
- Chill: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible. This allows the flavors to meld and the cookies to soften.
Notes
- Use ripe bananas for the best flavor.
- Chill thoroughly for enhanced taste and texture.
- Layer thoughtfully to ensure even distribution of flavors.
- Experiment with different flavors to create your own version.
- Serve cold for the best experience.
