How to Make Not Your Grandma's Banana Pudding

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the milk and instant pudding mix until smooth and creamy. Let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
  2. Layer half of the vanilla wafers in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  3. Slice bananas and arrange them evenly over the vanilla wafers.
  4. Pour half of the pudding mixture over the bananas.
  5. Repeat layers: vanilla wafers, bananas, remaining pudding mixture.
  6. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the pudding to set completely.
  7. Before serving, top with whipped cream and crushed vanilla wafers (optional). Enjoy!
