This no bake banana pudding is a nostalgic, creamy dessert that requires zero oven time. It features layers of vanilla wafers, ripe bananas, and a fluffy homemade pudding for a guaranteed crowd-pleaser that tastes like home.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 1/2 cups ice-cold water
  • 1 (3.4 oz) box instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 3 cups heavy whipping cream, very cold
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 (11 oz) box vanilla wafer cookies
  • 4-5 medium ripe bananas, sliced

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk sweetened condensed milk and ice-cold water until smooth. Sprinkle pudding mix over top and whisk vigorously for 2 minutes. Let sit for 5 minutes to set.
  2. In another large bowl, beat cold heavy cream and vanilla extract on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form.
  3. Gently fold the whipped cream into the pudding base using a spatula until no white streaks remain.
  4. In a 9x13 inch dish, spread a thin layer of pudding. Top with a single layer of vanilla wafers, then a layer of sliced bananas, then a generous layer of pudding.
  5. Repeat the layers of wafers, bananas, and pudding until all components are used, finishing with a final layer of pudding.
  6. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight, before serving.

Notes

Use very cold bowls and cream for best whipping results. Bananas should be ripe but not mushy. The pudding must chill for at least 4 hours for the wafers to soften properly. For a classic finish, crush extra wafers and sprinkle on top before serving.
