Ingredients
Scale
2 cups of whole milk
1 cup of sweetened condensed milk
1 cup of heavy cream
3 tablespoons of cornstarch
1/2 cup of granulated sugar
1 tablespoon of vanilla extract
4 ripe bananas
1 box of vanilla wafers

Instructions
Prepare the pudding mixture: In a medium saucepan, whisk together the milk, sweetened condensed milk, sugar, and cornstarch over medium heat. Keep whisking until it thickens to a pudding-like consistency, which usually takes about 5-8 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in vanilla extract. Let it cool slightly.
Whip the cream: In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the pudding mixture.
Layer it up: In a trifle bowl, start layering by adding a layer of vanilla wafers at the bottom. Then, add a layer of sliced bananas followed by a layer of the pudding mixture. Repeat this process until all components are used.
Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
Serve with love: When you’re ready to serve, top with fresh banana slices, whipped cream, and extra vanilla wafers.
