Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (3.4 oz/96g) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 2 cups cold milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream, whipped (or 1 cup whipped topping)
  • 2 large bananas, sliced
  • 1 1/2 cups strawberries, sliced
  • 1 box (12 oz) vanilla wafers (or graham crackers)
  • Additional strawberries or bananas for garnish (optional)

 


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pudding:
    • In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant pudding mix and cold milk for 2 minutes. Let it set for 5 minutes in the refrigerator.
  2. Fold in Whipped Cream:
    • Gently fold the whipped cream or whipped topping into the prepared pudding until well combined.
  3. Assemble the Layers:
    • In a trifle dish, large bowl, or individual serving cups, start layering the ingredients:
      • Begin with a layer of vanilla wafers.
      • Add a layer of banana slices and strawberry slices.
      • Spread a layer of the pudding mixture over the fruit.
      • Repeat the layers until the dish is full, ending with a layer of pudding on top.
  4. Chill the Pudding:
    • Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the wafers to soften.
  5. Garnish and Serve:
    • Garnish with additional strawberry and banana slices, if desired. Serve chilled and enjoy!

Notes

  • For added texture, sprinkle crushed vanilla wafers or graham crackers on top before serving.
  • To prevent the bananas from browning, lightly toss them in lemon juice before layering.
  • This dessert can be made up to a day in advance for the best flavor.
