Pudding Base Preparation
Combine Dry Ingredients
In a large saucepan, whisk together the granulated sugar, flour, and salt until well combined.
Add Milk
Gradually whisk in the milk to the dry ingredients, ensuring there are no lumps.
Cook the Mixture
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it thickens (about 10-15 minutes).
Add Vanilla Extract
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Allow the pudding to cool slightly.
Assembly
Layer the Ingredients
In a large trifle dish or serving bowl, start by placing a layer of vanilla wafers at the bottom.
Add Banana Slices
Slice the ripe bananas and add a layer over the vanilla wafers.
Pour Pudding
Spoon a layer of the prepared pudding over the banana slices.
Repeat Layers
Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of pudding on top.
Top with Whipped Cream
Spread a generous amount of whipped cream over the top layer of pudding.
Chill
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
