Ingredients:

  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk, chilled
  • 1.5 cups ice-cold whole milk
  • 1 box (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla bean paste
  • 1 box (11 oz) vanilla wafers
  • 4 large ripe bananas
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream (minimum 36% fat)
  • 0.25 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. Combine the chilled sweetened condensed milk and the ice cold whole milk in a large glass bowl. Whisk them together until the mixture is completely uniform and smooth.
  2. Add the instant vanilla pudding mix and the vanilla bean paste into the milk mixture. Whisk vigorously for exactly 2 minutes until the liquid begins to thicken and no lumps remain. Note: Using a glass bowl helps you see if any dry powder is stuck at the bottom.
  3. Place a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate this base for 30 minutes until it is firm and cold.
  4. Pour the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract into a separate, pre chilled metal bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until the cream is thick and the peaks stand straight up when the beaters are lifted.
  5. Remove the pudding from the fridge and gently stir it to loosen. Use a spatula to fold exactly half of your whipped cream into the pudding until you see a light, pale yellow color with no white streaks.
  6. Slice your 4 bananas into rounds about 1/4 inch thick. Place them in a small bowl and toss gently with the lemon juice until every slice has a shimmering, light coating.
  7. Line the bottom of your 8 ounce jars with a single layer of vanilla wafers. You can break them into pieces if needed to cover the entire bottom surface.
  8. Add a layer of the lemon coated banana slices over the wafers. Spoon a generous portion of the pudding mixture over the fruit until the bananas are completely submerged.
  9. Repeat the layers of wafers, bananas, and pudding one more time. Top each jar with a final, thick layer of the remaining whipped cream until the jar is filled to the brim.
  10. Place the lids on the jars or cover with plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for 4 hours until the wafers have softened into a tender, cake like consistency.
