Indulge in the creamy, dreamy goodness of The Best Banana Pudding Ever! Layers of Nilla wafers, freshly sliced bananas, and a rich, velvety pudding mixture make this classic dessert a crowd-pleaser.

Ingredients

Scale

Pudding:

  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 ½ cups ice cold water
  • 1 (3.4 oz) box instant vanilla pudding mix

Whipped Cream:

  • 3 cups heavy cream

Assembly:

  • 4 cups sliced barely ripe bananas
  • 1 (12 oz.) box Nilla Wafers

Instructions

  1. Mix the Pudding: In a large bowl, beat together the sweetened condensed milk and water until well combined – about 1 minute. Add the pudding mix and beat well – about 2 minutes. Cover and refrigerate for 3-4 hours or overnight.
  2. Whip the Cream: In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the pudding mixture until no streaks of pudding remain.
  3. Assemble: Dessert can either be made in individual portions or in a large glass bowl with 4-5 quart capacity (a 9×13 baking dish also works). To assemble dessert, arrange 1/3 of the Nilla wafers covering the bottom, overlapping if necessary. Next, layer 1/3 of the bananas, and 1/3 of the pudding mixture. Repeat twice more, garnishing with additional wafers or wafer crumbs on the top layer. Cover tightly and allow to chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours – or up to 8 hours, no longer.

Notes

  • Prevent browning of bananas by tossing them in a bit of lemon juice before layering.
