Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients: Collect all the needed ingredients. Make sure your bananas are ripe but still firm for the best taste.
Step 2: Make the Pudding Mixture: In a bowl, mix instant vanilla pudding with cold milk. Keep stirring until it’s smooth and starts to thicken.
Step 3: Layer the Dessert: Begin with a layer of vanilla wafers in your dish. Add sliced bananas and a thick layer of pudding. Keep layering until you’ve used all the ingredients, ending with pudding on top.
Step 4: Chill the Pudding: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and put it in the fridge for at least 2 hours. This makes the pudding creamy and cohesive.
Step 5: Add Whipped Cream: Just before serving, put fresh whipped cream on top. You can also sprinkle a bit of cocoa powder for looks.
