In a large bowl, combine sweetened condensed milk and milk. Add pudding mix and beat until well combined. Chill for 5 minutes to thicken.

1 can 14 oz sweetened condensed milk, 1 1/2 cups whole milk, 1 3.4oz package 4-serving size instant vanilla pudding mix

Gently fold in the whipped cream until fully combined.

2 cups heavy cream

Begin by placing a layer of vanilla wafers or shortbread cookies at the bottom of the trifle dish. Spoon a layer of the prepared pudding mixture over the cookies, spreading it evenly.

36 vanilla wafers

Arrange a layer of sliced bananas on top of the pudding.

3 to 4 medium bananas

Repeat the layers, starting with cookies, then pudding, and bananas, until you reach the top of the dish. Aim for at least two to three layers, finishing with a layer of pudding.

Cover the trifle dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until well chilled and set.

Before serving, top with whipped cream if desired for extra richness and a decorative touch and a sprinkle of crushed wafers or some banana slices! Get creative 🙂

Spoon the pudding into individual bowls or dishes and enjoy!
