Step-by-Step Instructions for Creamy No-Bake Banana Pudding
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and cold whole milk for about 2 minutes until thickened to a creamy consistency.
  2. Once the pudding mixture is thick, carefully fold in the sweetened condensed milk until fully incorporated.
  3. Gently add Cool Whip to the pudding mixture, using the spatula to fold it in until no white streaks remain.
  4. Grab a 9x13 inch glass dish to layer the vanilla wafers at the bottom, followed by banana slices and one-third of the pudding mixture.
  5. Repeat the layering with more wafers, banana slices, and another third of the pudding mixture.
  6. Spread the remaining pudding mixture smoothly over the top for a luscious finish.
  7. Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
