The best recipe for a no-bake banana pudding with layers of pudding, wafers, and fresh bananas. This layered no-bake banana cream dessert is stunning to serve and so easy to make.
In a large bowl, beat the cold milk with vanilla extract and vanilla pudding packets until it thickens. Pour in the condensed milk and beat to combine.
In a separate bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Add about two-thirds of the whipped cream into the pudding and gently fold in with a spatula.
Add the powdered sugar into the remaining one-third whipped cream and fold with a spatula to combine. Refrigerate until needed.
Add about 1/4th of the vanilla wafers into the bottom of your trifle bowl and about 1/4th of the bananas.
Spread 1/4 of the pudding over the bananas/wafers. Repeat with the remaining layers until you have four layers.
Add the reserved whipped cream over the top of the pudding and decorate as desired. Cover and refrigerate 2 hours before serving.
Notes
Make Ahead - assemble up to 24 hours in advance. Cover and store in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Enjoy within 2 days of making the dessert.*Be sure to use INSTANT pudding mix. *For a less sweet banana pudding, you use half of the sweetened condensed milk or add it to taste. Keep in mind that adding the whipped cream also mellows out the sweetness. *For single-serving desserts, assemble the dessert in small cups or bowls using a piping bag to layer
