Ingredients

Scale

Pudding Mixture

  • 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1.5 cups ice-cold water
  • 3.5 oz box instant vanilla pudding mix

Whipped Cream Mixture

  • 2.5 cups heavy cream
  • 2/3 cup marshmallow fluff

Additional Ingredients

  • 5–6 barely ripe large bananas
  • 1 box Nilla Wafers

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pudding base: In a large bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk with ice-cold water. Whisk thoroughly until well combined. Gradually whisk in the instant vanilla pudding mix vigorously to avoid lumps. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for about 4 hours until it sets.
  2. Make the whipped cream mixture: In a separate large bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add the marshmallow fluff and continue whipping the mixture until stiff peaks develop, creating a light but stable cream.
  3. Combine the pudding and whipped cream: Gently fold the whipped cream mixture into the chilled pudding in increments. Use a gentle folding technique to maintain the airy texture, mixing until only minimal streaks remain.
  4. Assemble the dessert layers: In a 9×13 inch baking dish or a large bowl, start by adding a layer of Nilla Wafers. Layer thinly sliced bananas over the wafers. Spread one-third of the cream mixture evenly on top of the bananas.
  5. Repeat layering: Repeat the layering process two more times — wafers, banana slices, and cream mixture — ending with a final layer of cream on top. For decoration, sprinkle crushed Nilla cookie crumbs on the surface as desired.
  6. Chill before serving: Refrigerate the assembled banana pudding for at least 4 hours to allow the flavors to meld and for it to firm up before serving.

Notes

  • Use barely ripe bananas for the best balanced sweetness and texture in the pudding.
  • Ensure heavy cream is well chilled before whipping to achieve the best volume.
  • Folding the whipped cream gently into the pudding helps maintain a light and fluffy texture.
  • Letting the pudding refrigerate overnight can improve flavor and layering stability.
  • For an added twist, you can drizzle caramel sauce or sprinkle toasted nuts on top before serving.
