Instructions
1. Prepare the Ingredients:
Make sure the vanilla pudding is chilled and smooth. Slice the bananas and strawberries just before assembling to keep them fresh and vibrant. Crush the vanilla wafers lightly — you want a mix of fine crumbs and small chunks for texture.
2. Layer the Dessert:
In a clear glass dish, trifle bowl, or individual dessert cups, start with a layer of crushed vanilla wafers at the bottom. Add a layer of banana and strawberry slices, followed by a generous spoonful of vanilla pudding. Smooth it out, then add a layer of whipped cream. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, ending with whipped cream on top.
3. Chill and Set:
Refrigerate the dessert for at least 1–2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the wafers to soften slightly. The chilling time helps the dessert achieve that classic creamy, pudding-like texture throughout.
