Steps

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the 14oz can of sweetened condensed milk, 1 1/2 cups of ice cold water, and the box of vanilla instant pudding mix until the mixture is combined and smooth.

  2. Place the pudding mixture into the refrigerator to chill and set for at least one hour.

  3. In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer to whisk the 3 cups of heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks have formed.

  4. Gently fold the chilled pudding mixture into the whipped cream until they are fully combined.

  5. In a trifle dish or individual cups, begin layering the pudding mixture, sliced bananas, and Nilla wafers. Repeat the layers until the dish is full.

  6. Refrigerate the assembled pudding for 3-4 hours before serving to allow the wafers to soften and flavors to meld.

Notes

The recipe mentions vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and Cool Whip in the ingredients list but does not specify their exact placement in the steps; typically, spices and vanilla are added to the pudding base in step 1, and Cool Whip can be used as a topping or folded in with the heavy cream for extra stability.
