A simple, layered no-bake banana pudding featuring instant vanilla pudding, sweetened condensed milk, whipped topping, vanilla wafers, and fresh bananas. This dessert is perfect for make-ahead gatherings and potlucks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (3.4 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 (8 ounce) container whipped topping, thawed
  • 1 (11 ounce) package vanilla wafers
  • 3 ripe bananas, sliced

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix, milk, and sweetened condensed milk until well combined and slightly thickened.
  2. Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until no streaks remain.
  3. Arrange a layer of vanilla wafers in the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish or a trifle bowl.
  4. Top the wafers with a layer of sliced bananas.
  5. Spoon about half of the pudding mixture over the bananas.
  6. Repeat the layers: vanilla wafers, bananas, and the remaining pudding mixture.
  7. Cover the dish or bowl with plastic wrap.
  8. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the pudding to set.
  9. Before serving, you can add a final layer of whipped topping and a few extra vanilla wafers or banana slices for garnish.

Notes

  • For a trifle bowl, layer ingredients in the same order, creating distinct visual layers.
  • Ensure bananas are fresh and ripe for the best flavor.
  • This dessert can be made up to 24 hours in advance.
  • The pudding will soften the vanilla wafers, creating a cake-like texture.
