# Instructions:
01 -
In a medium bowl, whisk together the cold milk and vanilla instant pudding mix for 2 minutes until smooth and thickened. Cover and refrigerate for 5 minutes to set.
02 -
In a large bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Avoid overbeating.
03 -
Gently fold the prepared pudding into the whipped cream until evenly combined for an airy texture.
04 -
Slice the bananas into 6 mm thick rounds just before assembling to prevent browning.
05 -
Place 2 to 3 vanilla wafers in the bottom of each serving cup or glass. Drizzle a small amount of caramel sauce over the wafers.
06 -
Arrange a layer of banana slices over the wafers, overlapping slightly for coverage.
07 -
Spoon a generous layer of the pudding and whipped cream mixture over the bananas, filling about one third of the cup.
08 -
Continue layering with more wafers, caramel sauce, bananas, and pudding mixture until reaching the top of each cup, finishing with a pudding layer.
09 -
Sprinkle crushed vanilla wafers on top and drizzle with additional caramel sauce for an attractive finish.
10 -
Refrigerate the assembled cups for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld and wafers to soften slightly before serving.
# Notes:
01 -
Slicing bananas just before use preserves their color and freshness.
02 -
For optimal texture, chill dessert for the full recommended time so layers set properly.
