In a large bowl, whisk together the cold milk and pudding mix for about 2 minutes until smooth and thickened.
Stir in the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gently fold in the whipped topping until the mixture is light and creamy.
In a large dish, layer vanilla wafers on the bottom. Top with sliced bananas, then spread a layer of the pudding mixture. Repeat layers until all ingredients are used, ending with pudding on top.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to allow flavors to blend. Serve chilled with extra wafers or banana slices on top if desired.
✨ Tips for the BEST Results
Use ripe (but not brown) bananas for the sweetest flavor.
Let it chill overnight for perfect texture.
Add a light dusting of crushed wafers on top before serving.
For extra richness, use French vanilla pudding.
ENJOY!!
