Here’s a quick classic Southern-style version if you want to make it:
Classic Banana Pudding Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 (5 oz) box instant vanilla pudding
- 2 cups cold milk
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 (12 oz) box Nilla wafers
- 4–5 ripe bananas, sliced
Instructions:
- Make the pudding: In a large bowl, whisk together instant pudding and cold milk. Let it set for about 5 minutes.
- Mix in flavors: Stir in sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract.
- Whip the cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then fold it gently into the pudding mixture.
- Layer the dessert: In a large dish, layer Nilla wafers, banana slices, and pudding. Repeat until ingredients are gone, ending with pudding on top.
- Chill: Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (overnight is even better) so the flavors meld and the wafers soften.
- Optional topping: Add crushed wafers or whipped cream before serving.
