Instant vanilla pudding mix5.1 oz box
Cold heavy cream (for whipped cream)2 cups
Granulated sugar (for whipped cream)2 tbsp
Vanilla extract2 tsp
Large bananas5
Vanilla wafers15 oz box
Cold heavy cream (for topping)1 cup
Granulated sugar (for topping)1 tbsp
Vanilla extract (for topping)

Steps

1
In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of cold whole milk with one 14-ounce container of sweetened condensed milk. Use a spatula to scrape out all the condensed milk, then whisk thoroughly until well combined and lump-free.
2
Sprinkle the 5.1-ounce instant vanilla pudding mix into the milk mixture while whisking continuously. Keep whisking until the mixture is smooth and lump-free. Refrigerate the pudding mixture for about 5 minutes until it sets.
3
In a medium bowl, combine 2 cups of cold heavy cream, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract. Using an electric mixer on medium speed, whip until soft peaks form, then finish by hand-whisking to stiff peaks without over-whipping.
4
Gently fold the whipped cream into the set pudding mixture until well combined.
5
Prepare 5 large bananas, choosing ones that are yellow with a few brown spots. Slice the bananas into coins approximately 1/2 inch thick. Slice just before assembly to prevent browning.
6
In a trifle dish, arrange a layer of vanilla wafers on the bottom. Add about one-quarter of the pudding mixture on top of the cookies and smooth it out gently.
7
Add another layer of vanilla wafers, arranging whole cookies upright along the sides of the dish to form a cookie basket effect. Top with a layer of banana coins.
8
Add another quarter of the pudding mixture. Repeat the layering process: add another layer of cookies along the sides, more banana coins, then another quarter of the pudding mixture.
9
Add the remaining pudding mixture and smooth the top. Refrigerate the assembled pudding for at least 3 hours until set.
10
Once the pudding has chilled, in a large bowl combine 1 cup of cold heavy cream, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Whip using an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form.
11
Pile the whipped cream on top of the pudding, extending it slightly toward the edges. Finish by sprinkling crushed vanilla wafer cookies on top as garnish.
