Ingredients

1 box instant vanilla pudding (5.1 ounces)
4 cups whole milk
14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
4 large bananas
12 ounces vanilla wafers
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cup heavy whipping cream
5 tablespoons powdered sugar

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl mix the whole milk with both boxes of the vanilla pudding and the condensed milk. Mix well until there are no lumps remaining in the mixture then put the bowl into the refrigerator to set. About 5-10 Minutes.
In the meantime in another large mixing bowl add the cream, vanilla and powdered sugar. Beat until stiff peaks form. You will be using half of the mixture as a layer in the dessert then the other half for decorating the top.
Add a layer of vanilla cookies on the bottom of the trifle dish. If you don't have a trifle dish, a large dessert dish will be fine. A glass one makes a pretty presentation.
Add slices of banana (about coin size) on top of those vanilla cookies.
On top of that add a layer of the vanilla pudding. Then make another layer of cookies, bananas and pudding.
Then layer half of the cream.
Add another layer each of cookies, bananas and pudding until you’re at the top of the dish.
Top with the remaining cream and decorate with crushed vanilla cookies and sliced bananas.
Store in the refrigerator until serving.
