Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, instant vanilla pudding mix, and sweetened condensed milk until smooth. Refrigerate for about 5 minutes or until slightly set.
In another bowl, beat the heavy cream with a hand mixer until stiff peaks form (3–5 minutes).
Gently fold the whipped cream into the pudding mixture.
Using a large glass or 9×13-inch baking dish, layer half of the Nilla wafers, followed by half of the pudding mixture, then half of the banana slices. Repeat the layers.
Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Just before serving, crumble additional wafers on top for extra crunch, if desired.

Notes

You can substitute graham crackers or ladyfingers for Nilla Wafers if preferred.
For best results, refrigerate for at least 4 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
Crumble extra wafers on top just before serving for added texture.
