BANANA PUDDING RECIPE

Steps:

• First, I combine my 2 boxes of instant vanilla pudding and 4 cups of milk in a large bowl. Which means you will use 2 cups of milk per box of pudding
• You can use a whisk or a hand mixer, whichever you prefer they're both fairly easy. You will want to whisk/mix until all the lumps are gone.
• Next, you add in 1 cup of whipped cream into your pudding mixture.
• You fold in the whipped cream, do not whip or stir because you want to keep your pudding light, fluffy, and airy.
• Now, you're going to set your pudding aside. I use my trifle bowl, which is typically used for layered desserts.
• I start to layer my vanilla wafers at the bottom of the bowl as well as around.
• Then, I begin to peel and slice my bananas, laying them on top of the wafers.
• After layering in the wafers and bananas, add a generous amount of pudding. You will continue this process of layering until you reach the top of the trifle bowl.
• Now that you've completed your banana pudding, you will need to refrigerate until chilled.
