Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of milk with the instant vanilla pudding mix. Whisk it together for about 2 minutes until it thickens, then set it aside.
  2. In a separate bowl, add 1 cup of heavy whipping cream. Use an electric mixer to whip it until stiff peaks form.
  3. Carefully fold the prepared whipped cream into the pudding mixture, being gentle to keep an airy texture.
Assembly
  1. In serving cups or bowls, place a layer of vanilla wafer cookies at the bottom.
  2. Add a layer of the pudding cream mixture and top with a few banana slices.
  3. Repeat the layers until you reach the top of the cups.
Chilling
  1. Cover the cups with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best flavor.
Serving
  1. When ready to serve, top each cup with whipped cream and if desired, some crushed bananas or wafer pieces for an extra touch.

Notes

Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; consume sooner for the best flavor. Avoid overmixing whipped cream to maintain a light texture.
