1
Prepare the Vanilla Pudding
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the vanilla pudding mix and milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil. Remove from heat and let cool.
2
Make Banana Syrup
In a small saucepan, mash 2 ripe bananas and add 1 cup of sugar. Cook over medium heat until the mixture thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside to cool.
3
Whip the Cream
In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with the vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Set aside.
4
Assemble the Pudding
In a trifle dish or individual serving cups, layer the lady fingers, banana syrup, banana slices, and vanilla pudding. Repeat the layers as desired.
5
Top with Whipped Cream
Finish with a generous layer of whipped cream on top. Garnish with remaining banana slices.
6
Chill and Serve
Refrigerate the banana pudding for at least 2 hours before serving to allow flavors to meld.
