2cupscold milk
1package3.4 ounces instant vanilla pudding mix
2cupsheavy whipping cream
¼cuppowdered sugar
1teaspoonvanilla extract
3 large bananaspeeled and sliced
36Nilla Wafer cookies
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the cold milk and instant vanilla pudding mix until thickened. Cover and refrigerate until needed.
In another medium mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer on medium speed until stiff peaks form (about 2–3 minutes).
Set 6 clear plastic 9-ounce punch cups on the counter or a cookie sheet.
Place banana slices along the bottom of each cup around the sides so they are visible from the outside.
Scoop ¼ cup of the vanilla pudding into the bottom of each cup and spread it out to fully cover the banana slices.
Place 4–5 Nilla Wafers into each cup on top of the pudding layer, positioning the cookies so the round sides face outward and are visible through the cups.
Scoop ¼ cup of whipped cream into each cup and spread it out to fully cover the cookies.
Divide the remaining vanilla pudding evenly among the cups.
Top each with a dollop of whipped cream and a Nilla Wafer for garnish. If serving immediately, add a slice of banana on top as well.
