Ingredients

  • 2 cups cold milk
  • 1 box (3.4 oz) vanilla instant pudding mix
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tub Cool Whip, thawed
  • 1 box vanilla wafers
  • 3–4 ripe bananas, sliced
  • 1½ cups fresh strawberries, sliced

👩‍🍳 

How to Make It

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the cold milk and instant pudding mix until smooth and thickened.
  2. Add the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined and creamy.
  3. Gently fold in the Cool Whip until light and fluffy. This step gives the pudding its signature cloud-like texture.
  4. In a trifle dish, large bowl, or individual cups, begin layering:
    • Vanilla wafers
    • Banana slices
    • Strawberry slices
    • Pudding mixture
  6. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with pudding on top.
  7. Garnish with crushed wafers, extra strawberries, or banana slices if desired.
  8. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2–4 hours (overnight is even better!) to let the flavors meld together.
