Ingredients
Scale
- 5.1 ounce vanilla pudding mix
- 3 cups cold whole milk
- 14 ounce sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 4 to 6 bananas
- 11 ounce Mini Nilla wafers
- 12 (8 ounce) mason jars or clear plastic cups
Instructions
- Rinse and dry the mason jars. In a large bowl, whisk together the vanilla pudding package with cold milk until thickened for 2 minutes. Then, allow it to set up and thicken for another 3 minutes. It should be thick and pudding consistency.
- Add the sweetened condensed milk into the pudding mixture. Refrigerate. Note: This will make the pudding thinner and that's ok.
- In a stand mixer or with a hand mixer with the whisk attachment, whip the heavy cream on medium speed until stiff peaks form.
- Remove the pudding mixture from the fridge and fold 1/2 of the whipped heavy cream until it is combined. Set the remaining whipped cream aside for topping the pudding cups.
- In each 8 ounce jar, layer in a bit of pudding mix (about 1 inch high), then 6 banana slices, more pudding mix, 6 vanilla wafers, pudding mix, 6 banana slices, pudding mix, 6 more vanilla wafers, then a small dollop of whipped cream. Top with lid. Repeat with all 12 jars.
- Store in the fridge until serving. Label the tops of the jars if desired and enjoy!
Notes
- I find it easiest to make 3 at a time when layering in the glass jars.
- It can get a bit messy, but if you have a bowl with a pouring spout on it for the pudding mixture, it definitely helps!
- Don't overmix the whipped cream. As soon as the stiff peaks form, turn it off.
