Cool the Pudding

Layer the Ingredients
In a large trifle dish or individual cups, start layering by placing a layer of vanilla wafers at the bottom, followed by a layer of sliced bananas, and then a layer of the cooled pudding. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of pudding on top.
