👩‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Make the Pudding Base

  1. In a large bowl, whisk the cold milk and instant pudding mix for about 2 minutes until thickened.

  2. Whisk in sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract until smooth.

  3. Gently fold in the Cool Whip until light, fluffy, and fully combined.

2️⃣ Assemble the Layers

  1. Spread a thin layer of pudding mixture in the bottom of a 9×13-inch dish or trifle bowl.

  2. Add a layer of vanilla wafers.

  3. Top with sliced bananas and strawberries.

  4. Spread another layer of pudding mixture over the fruit.

  5. Repeat layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with pudding on top.

3️⃣ Chill

  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 3–4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow flavors to blend and wafers to soften.

4️⃣ Serve

  • Garnish with crushed wafers, whipped cream, or festive sprinkles just before serving.

💡 Holiday Pro Tips

  • Use ripe but firm bananas for best flavor and texture.

  • Slice bananas right before layering to prevent browning.

  • For extra strawberry flavor, lightly macerate strawberries with a teaspoon of sugar.
