Banana Pudding (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 1 (3.4 oz) box instant vanilla pudding mix

02 - 2 cups cold milk

03 - 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk

04 - 1 tsp vanilla extract

05 - 1 (8 oz) tub whipped topping, thawed

06 - 4-5 ripe bananas, sliced

07 - 1 (11 oz) box vanilla wafers

# Instructions:

01 - In a large bowl, whisk pudding mix with cold milk for 2 minutes until thickened.

02 - Stir in sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract, then gently fold in the whipped topping until well combined.

03 - In a serving dish (a trifle dish or 9x13 baking dish works well), create a layer of vanilla wafers, followed by a layer of banana slices, then top with a layer of the pudding mixture.

04 - Continue layering vanilla wafers, banana slices, and pudding mixture until all ingredients are used, finishing with the pudding mixture on top.

05 - Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving to allow flavors to meld and wafers to soften.

# Notes:

01 - For a decorative touch, crush a few vanilla wafers and sprinkle them on top before serving.

02 - Choose bananas that are ripe but still firm for the best texture and flavor.

03 - This dessert is best enjoyed within 2 days, as the bananas will begin to brown after that.
