How to Make My Best Banana Pudding Dessert
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the instant vanilla pudding mix and 2 cups of milk for 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer until the pudding begins to thicken.
- Add the sweetened condensed milk and mix until completely smooth and creamy.
- Stir in the vanilla extract. Gently fold in the thawed Cool Whip until just combined. Do not overmix.
- In a 13x9x2 inch glass baking dish, layer the bottom with approximately one-third of the Nilla wafers.
- Top the wafer layer with about half of the sliced bananas.
- Pour half of the pudding mixture evenly over the bananas and wafers.
- Repeat layers: wafers, bananas, and the remaining pudding mixture.
- Finish with the remaining Nilla wafers on top.
- Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the pudding to set completely.
