1
Make the Pudding Base
In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Whisk together until smooth. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly until it starts to thicken and bubble.
2
Finish the Pudding
Once thickened, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and butter. Mix until the butter is melted and fully incorporated. Allow the pudding to cool slightly.

3
Prepare the Bananas
Slice the ripe bananas into thin rounds.
4
Assemble the Layers
In a large serving dish or individual cups, layer a portion of the vanilla wafers, followed by a layer of banana slices, and then a layer of the prepared pudding. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of pudding on top.
5
Top with Whipped Cream
Spread the whipped cream evenly over the top layer of pudding. You can also garnish with additional banana slices or crushed vanilla wafers if desired.
