4–5 ripe but firm bananas, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk for about 2 minutes, or until the mixture begins to thicken. Set aside
- In a separate large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Gradually beat in the sweetened condensed milk until well combined and lump-free. Stir in the pure vanilla extract
- Gently fold the prepared whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated. Slowly fold in the thickened vanilla pudding until smooth
- Spread a thin layer of the cream mixture on the bottom of a large trifle bowl or baking dish
- Arrange a single layer of vanilla wafers over the cream
- Place a layer of sliced bananas over the wafers
- Distribute a generous layer of sliced fresh strawberries over the bananas
- Spoon about one-third of the remaining cream mixture over the fruit, gently spreading it to cover everything
- Continue layering with vanilla wafers, bananas, strawberries, and cream mixture until all ingredients are used, ending with a final layer of the cream
- Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours, preferably overnight
- Before serving, garnish with extra fresh strawberry slices and banana slices
Notes
Chilling time is crucial for the best flavor.
