This rich and creamy pudding is wonderful and very simple to make. It’s great for unexpected guests as it should be made at the last minute and only requires a short time to chill in the refrigerator.
1 can sweetened condensed milk (do not use evaporated milk)
1 1/2 C cold water
1 package instant vanilla pudding
1 pint heavy whipping cream, whipped
40 vanilla wafers
4 medium sized bananas dipped in lemon juice.
In a large bowl, mix condensed milk and water. Add pudding mix and beat well. Chill for about 5 minutes and then fold in whipped cream. Spoon 1 cup of the pudding mixture into a 2 to 3 quart serving bowl.
Top with one third each of vanilla wafers, pudding and bananas repeat layering twice and end with pudding mixture. Chill for about 45 minutes to 1 hour and garnish with fresh mint sprigs.
