Preparation Steps

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk. Using a hand mixer at medium-low speed, beat the mixture until well blended (about 2 minutes).
  • Chill the pudding mixture in the refrigerator while you prepare the next step.
  • In an 11x7-inch baking dish, arrange a single layer of vanilla wafer cookies with the flat side down. Use 24 cookies for this layer.
  • Pour half of the chilled pudding mixture (about 1 cup) over the cookies in the baking dish.
  • Add half of the thinly sliced bananas in a single layer over the pudding.
  • Repeat with another layer of cookies, pudding, and bananas.
  • Top the final layer with whipped cream, spreading it evenly over the pudding.
  • If desired, garnish with extra sliced bananas and cookies.
  • Chill the dessert in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, up to overnight before serving.

Notes

Cookies, bananas then pudding, repeat. The pudding on top of the bananas keeps the bananas from turning dark.
