Ingredients
  

  • 2 3.4 oz packages instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 3 cups whole milk cold
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 8 oz whipped topping thawed
  • 4 large ripe bananas sliced
  • 1 sleeve Nilla Wafers about 30 wafers
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar optional
  • pinch salt
  • Optional toppings graham cracker crumbs, mini chocolate chips, or strawberries

Instructions
 

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together pudding mix and cold milk for about 2 minutes until the mixture is smooth and begins to thicken.
  • In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form, then fold in the thawed whipped topping until light and fluffy.
  • Gently fold the whipped cream mixture into the pudding base until well combined, keeping the mixture airy and smooth.
  • Line the bottom of each cup with 2–3 Nilla Wafers, top with a layer of pudding mixture, then banana slices; repeat layers until the cups are filled.
  • Sprinkle crushed wafers or graham crumbs on top and add a mini wafer or banana fan for a pretty finish.
  • Cover the cups and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

For firmer pudding, chill longer. Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days but taste best within 48 hours.
