Ingredients
Pudding Base
- 397 g sweetened condensed milk
- 355 ml ice-cold water
- 99 g instant vanilla pudding mix
Cream Mixture
- 590 ml heavy cream
- 160 ml marshmallow fluff
Filling and Topping
- 5-6 large bananas, barely ripe, sliced
- 1 box Nilla Wafers (approximately 300 g)
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed milk and ice-cold water until fully combined.
- Add instant vanilla pudding mix and whisk vigorously until the mixture is smooth and lump-free. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or until set.
Cream Preparation
- In a separate large bowl, whip heavy cream on medium speed until soft peaks form.
- Add marshmallow fluff and continue whipping until stiff peaks are achieved.
Assembly
- Gently fold whipped cream mixture into the chilled pudding in several portions, mixing carefully to avoid deflating the cream. Stir only until streaks are minimal.
- Arrange a layer of Nilla wafers at the bottom of a 23x33 cm baking dish or large bowl.
- Add a layer of banana slices over the wafers, then spread one-third of the cream mixture evenly on top.
- Repeat the layering process twice more, finishing with a layer of cream.
- Decorate the top layer as desired, such as sprinkling crushed Nilla wafers.
Chill
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.
Notes
Serve chilled, straight out of the refrigerator. For extra presentation, add banana slices or a drizzle of caramel sauce before serving. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
