👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Make the pudding base:

   • In a large bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk and cold water until smooth.

   • Add the pudding mix and whisk for about 2 minutes until it begins to thicken.

   • Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to set.

2. Whip the cream:

   • In a separate bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.

   • Gently fold the whipped cream into the chilled pudding mixture until combined and creamy.

3. Assemble the layers:

   • In a 9×13-inch dish (or a trifle bowl), layer:

     • Vanilla wafers

     • Sliced bananas

     • Pudding mixture

   • Repeat the layers until the dish is full, ending with pudding on top.

4. Chill:

   • Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (best overnight) to allow the flavors to meld and the cookies to soften.

5. Serve:

   • Garnish with extra whipped cream or crushed cookies if desired.

   • Serve cold and enjoy!
