Ingredients

Scale

1 (3.4 oz) box instant vanilla pudding mix
2 cups whole milk
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
2 cups heavy cream (whipped)
1 (11 oz) box Nilla Wafers
4 ripe bananas (sliced)

Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and whole milk until smooth. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to thicken.
Fold in the sweetened condensed milk until fully combined with the pudding mixture.
In another bowl, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold half into the pudding mixture to keep it airy.
In a trifle dish or large bowl, layer Nilla Wafers at the bottom, followed by sliced bananas and spoonfuls of pudding mixture.
Repeat layers until you reach the top of the dish. Finish with dollops of remaining whipped cream and a sprinkle of crushed Nilla Wafers.
Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving to allow flavors to meld.
