MY OLD SCHOOL EASY QUICK BANANA 🍌 PUDDING (SUPER BOWL DESSERT IDEA)
This isn't my traditional banana pudding
But its so easy and delicious
I use this recipe every time i host events or parties in my home
i usually have hundreds of other things to cook
so this saves me time and effort in the kitchen
RECIPE:
2 cups whole milk
14 oz sweetened condensed milk 1 can
5 oz instant vanilla pudding mix one package
3 cups heavy cream divided
3 tbsp granulated sugar divided
3 tsp vanilla extract divided
1 box vanilla wafer cookies 16-oz.
5 bananas sliced into coins
Instructions:
In a large bowl whisk together the milk and sweetened condensed milk then sprinkle in the instant pudding and mix until completely incorporated with no lumps remaining. You can do this by hand or with an electric mixer. Refrigerate for 5 minutes or until set.
Add 3 cups of whipped cream with two tablespoons of sugar and 2 teaspoons of vanilla to a bowl then mix on high until stiff peaks from.
Remove pudding from the refrigerator then fold the whipped cream into it.
Add a layer of cookies to the bottom of your trifle dish or a larger bowl. Place a quarter of the pudding mixture over then smooth using a spatula. Add another layer of cookies then place a row of cookies facing the horizontal edge of your dish. Add a layer of banana slices on top then add another quarter of the pudding mixture and smooth.
Continue layering with cookies, bananas and pudding until complete. Alternate a row of banana slices with the cookies you're pressing against the wall of the trifle dish. Chill for three hours.
For the topping whip cup of cup of cream with a tablespoon of sugar and a teaspoon of vanilla to stiff peaks. Pile on top and crumble the remaining cookies over then serve.
Notes
If you're worried about over-whipping the cream then whip until you reach soft peaks then finish it off by hand.
Use ripe bananas that are still firm.
If you prefer, whipped topping can be used in place of whipped cream.
Any cookie will work in this recipe so have fun using your favorites!
If you don't have a trifle dish then just use a big glass bowl, or assemble in small serving cups.

Making banana pudding has always been a crowd-pleaser at my family gatherings, and I can personally vouch for how this easy, old school banana pudding recipe is a lifesaver when hosting large parties or Super Bowl events. The combination of creamy vanilla pudding, sweetened condensed milk, and layers of ripe bananas paired with crunchy vanilla wafers produces a texture and flavor that feels both nostalgic and incredibly satisfying. One tip I've learned from experience is to carefully whip the cream to soft or stiff peaks, depending on your preference, to achieve that perfect light yet creamy topping that balances the pudding layers. Over-whipping can quickly turn the cream grainy, so I usually finish whipping by hand once the cream holds soft peaks. Using fresh, firm bananas makes a huge difference. They not only maintain their shape and add sweetness but also provide a nice contrast to the smooth pudding. If bananas are too ripe, the pudding can become watery, so look for just-ripe bananas when slicing. Another great tip is to experiment with different cookies if you want to customize the flavors. While vanilla wafers are classic and beloved, you can try chocolate wafers or even ginger snaps if you desire a twist that matches your event theme. This recipe saves me time because it requires no baking and minimal prep, which is ideal when juggling other dishes and hosting responsibilities. Whether assembled in a trifle dish or smaller cups, it always gets rave reviews. Lastly, chilling the pudding for at least three hours is key. It allows the flavors to meld together and the cookies to soften slightly without becoming mushy, creating that signature banana pudding experience that everyone loves. If you’re looking for a nostalgic, quick, and deeply satisfying dessert to bring to your next party or football game, this banana pudding recipe is a fantastic choice.
