Ingredients

  • 1 package Vanilla Instant Pudding Mix 5.3 oz
  • 2 cup 2% milk cold
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk 14 oz
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla
  • 12 oz cool whip defrosted
  • 1 box vanilla wafers 12 oz
  • 5-6 medium bananas

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk pudding mix and 2% milk for 2 minutes until slightly thickened.
  • Stir in sweetened condensed milk until smooth. Stir in vanilla. Fold in cool whip, 1/3 of it at a time, until smooth.
  • Reserve 15 wafers for topping. In a 9x13 pan, layer half the remaining vanilla wafers, half the sliced bananas, and half the pudding mixture. Repeat the layers one more time.
  • Be sure all bananas are covered with pudding or they will dry out and brown. Top with reserved 15 vanilla wafers. Chill 6-8 hours before serving. Store leftovers tightly covered in the refrigerator and eat within 24 hours if possible.
