Ingredients
Scale
For the pudding:
- 1 (3.4 oz) box instant vanilla pudding mix
- 2 cups cold milk
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the layers:
- 2 cups sliced fresh strawberries
- 2 ripe bananas, sliced
- 1 (11 oz) box vanilla wafers
Instructions
- Prepare the pudding: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pudding mix and cold milk for 2 minutes until thickened. Stir in the sweetened condensed milk until well combined.
- Whip the cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
- Combine: Gently fold the whipped cream into the pudding mixture until smooth and fluffy.
- Layer: In a trifle dish or 9×13-inch baking dish, layer vanilla wafers, banana slices, strawberry slices, and pudding mixture. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, ending with a layer of pudding on top.
- Chill: Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve: Before serving, top with extra strawberries and banana slices, and crushed vanilla wafers if desired.

- For a lighter version, use whipped topping instead of fresh whipped cream.
