This no-cook banana pudding recipe is a creamy, delicious dessert layered with vanilla wafers and fresh banana slices. It’s easy to prepare in just 25 minutes and makes a perfect crowd-pleaser for any occasion with its smooth pudding base made using instant vanilla pudding mix, sweetened condensed milk, and whipped topping.

Ingredients

Pudding Mixture

  • 2 cups cold milk
  • 1 (5-ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 (12-ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed

Layers

  • 1 (16-ounce) package vanilla wafers
  • 12 small bananas, sliced (or more as needed)

Instructions

  1. Gather Ingredients: Collect all necessary ingredients to ensure smooth preparation.
  2. Make the Pudding Base: In a large bowl, combine cold milk and instant vanilla pudding mix. Whisk vigorously for 2 minutes until the mixture thickens. Then, whisk in the sweetened condensed milk until the mixture is smooth.
  3. Add Flavor and Whipped Topping: Stir in the vanilla extract to the pudding mixture. Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping to keep the mixture light and airy.
  4. Layer the Pudding: In a glass serving bowl, create a layer of vanilla wafers on the bottom. Add a layer of sliced bananas on top, followed by a layer of the pudding mixture. Repeat these layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with pudding on top.
  5. Chill: For optimal taste and texture, chill the assembled pudding in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
  6. Serve: Just before serving, sprinkle additional crushed vanilla wafers on top to add a crisp texture contrast. Enjoy your creamy, no-bake banana pudding!

Notes

  • You can prepare this pudding up to 24 hours in advance; keep it covered and refrigerated.
  • Wait to add crushed vanilla wafers on top until just before serving to keep them crunchy.
  • Use ripe but firm bananas to prevent browning and maintain texture.
