Ingredients

  • 1 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 ¼ cups (297ml) ice cold water
  • 1 3.4 ounce box instant vanilla pudding
  • 3 cups (704ml) heavy whipping cream
  • 1 12 ounce box Nilla Wafers
  • 4 cups sliced bananas about 5-6 bananas

Instructions

  • Add sweetened condensed milk, water, and pudding mix to a medium sized bowl. Whisk or mix with a hand mixer until combined, about 2 minutes. Cover and chill 3-4 hours or overnight. You want the pudding to set properly.
  • In a large bowl, beat whipping cream until stiff peaks form. You can use a hand or a stand mixer. Gently fold the whipped cream into the pudding mixture.
  • Assemble your pudding by placing 1/3 of the wafers in the bottom of a large wide bottomed bowl. Top with 1/3 of the bananas and 1/3 of the pudding. Repeat the layers twice and garnish with wafer crumbs.
  • Wrap tightly with plastic wrap and chill at least 4 hours before serving. You can chill up to 8 hours but it’s not recommended to chill it longer than that.
