banana pudding recipe

 Here's a classic banana pudding recipe:

Yields: 8-10 servings

Prep time: 15 minutes

Chill time: At least 2 hours

Ingredients:

 * 1 (3.4-ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix

 * 2 cups cold milk

 * 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk

 * 1 (12-ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed

 * 1 (16-ounce) package vanilla wafers

 * 3-4 ripe bananas, sliced

Instructions:

 * Make the pudding: In a large bowl, whisk together the pudding mix and milk until smooth and creamy.

 * Combine ingredients: Stir in the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract.

 * Fold in whipped topping: Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until just combined.

 * Assemble the pudding: In a trifle bowl or a large serving dish, layer the ingredients as follows:

   * A layer of vanilla wafers

   * A layer of sliced bananas

   * A layer of pudding

   * Repeat layers until all ingredients are used, ending with a layer of pudding.

 * Chill: Cover the pudding and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until chilled and set.

Tips:

 * For extra flavor, you can add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the pudding mixture.

 * If you don't have a trifle bowl, you can use any large bowl or even individual serving glasses.

 * To make the pudding even richer, you can use heavy cream instead of milk.

 * You can garnish the pudding with additional whipped cream, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a few crushed vanilla wafers.
