Equipment

  • mixer
  • bowls
  • whisk
  • Trifle dish

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cold whole milk 480ml
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk 14-ounce/397g
  • 1 box instant vanilla pudding mix 5.1-ounce/144g
  • 3 cups heavy whipping cream divided (720ml)
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar divided
  • 3 teaspoons vanilla extract divided
  • 1 box vanilla wafer cookies 15-ounce/425g
  • 5 large bananas

Instructions
 

For the Pudding

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the milk and sweetened condensed milk until combined. Sprinkle in the instant pudding, and mix until completely incorporated with no lumps remaining. Refrigerate for 5 minutes or until set.
  • Add 2 cups of cream, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and 2 teaspoons of vanilla to a bowl, then mix on high until stiff peaks form.
  • Remove pudding from the refrigerator then fold the whipped cream into it.
  • Peel the bananas and slice them into ½-inch thick coins.
  • To assemble, add a layer of cookies to the bottom of your trifle dish or a large serving bowl. Place a quarter of the pudding mixture over the cookies, then smooth using a spatula.
  • Add another layer of cookies then place a row of cookies set upright against the side of the dish facing out. Add a layer of banana slices on top. Add another quarter of the pudding mixture and smooth.
  • Continue layering with cookies, bananas and pudding until complete. Chill for three hours.

For the Topping

  • Whip the remaining 1 cup of cream, remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar, and remaining 1 teaspoon of vanilla until soft peaks form. Top the pudding with the whipped cream and pile any remaining cookies on top.

Notes

Watch the whipped cream carefully. Overwhipped cream will curdle. Dollop the pudding mixture to preserve the placement of cookies and bananas.
