Easy Banana Pudding

Make the pudding

1. In a mixing bowl, add the sweetened condensed milk, whole milk, and pudding mix. Whisk together until smooth.
2. Whisk in the vanilla extract. Set aside for now.

Make crushed wafers

1. Add about 1 cup of the wafers to a food processor (or you can use a resealable plastic bag and a rolling pin), and pulse until you have medium sized pieces. Set aside.

Make whipped cream

1. To a separate mixing bowl, add the heavy whipping cream and granulated sugar. Use a hand mixer (or you can use a stand mixer with it's bowl) and beat on about a MED speed until soft peaks start to form (see chef tips #2 below for more info).
2. This will likely take about 3-4 minutes.

Slice bananas

1. Slice the bananas into even slices and set aside.

Assemble

1. Add half of the whipped cream to the bowl with the pudding, and use a rubber spatula to fold it in, using an over-under motion, until you don't see streaks of white.
2. To a 9x13" baking dish, add a layer of whole vanilla wafers to the bottom. Top with a layer of banana slices, then a layer of the pudding (about half of the mixture).
3. Top with a layer of crushed vanilla wafers, then banana slices, and the rest of the pudding mixture.
4. Top that with the remaining whipped cream, and garnish with whole vanilla wafers, banana slices, and crushed vanilla wafers.

Chill

1. Cover baking dish tightly and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

Serve

1. Serve chilled and enjoy!
