Ingredients
- 14 ounce can Sweetened Condensed Milk
- 1 1/2 cups ice cold water
- 1 3.4 ounce packet instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
- 3 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 11 ounce box vanilla wafers
- 5 bananas, sliced
- 1 pint strawberries, sliced (2 cups)
Step-By-Step Recipe Method
- In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer with the whisk attachment, add the sweetened condensed milk and cold water, then beat for 1 to 2 minutes on medium speed until it is well combined. Add the vanilla pudding mix and beat it for another 2 minutes, or until it is completely dissolved and smooth. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours (or overnight) to set.
- Once the pudding has set, add the heavy cream and vanilla bean paste/extract into a separate large mixing bowl. Then, with a hand mixer or stand mixer with the whisk attachment, beat the mixture on medium speed for approximately 3 minutes or until stiff peaks form.
- Fold the whipped cream into the pudding mixture until it is well combined.
- To assemble, use a trifle bowl and begin layering ⅓ of the Nilla wafers, ⅓ of the bananas, ⅓ of the strawberries, and ⅓ of the pudding mixture. Repeat this process two more times, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours. Once you’re ready to serve the pudding, garnish with the additional crumbled wafers and fresh banana and strawberry slices. You can also layer these into individual serving bowls or glasses. Enjoy!
