Begin by adding the instant pudding mix, milk, and sweetened condensed milk into a large mixing bowl.
1 package Vanilla instant pudding, 2 cups milk, 1 can sweetened condensed milk
Mix well with a hand mixer.
Next, add the cinnamon, vanilla extract, and frozen whipped topping.
1 container frozen whipped topping (such as Cool Whip), 1 pinch cinnamon, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Mix well with a hand mixer.
Slice your bananas and set them aside.
In a 9 x 13 casserole dish or a trifle dish, layer wafers, bananas, and pudding mixture. I added extra bananas on top. Crushed wafers are also a nice touch on top too.
1 package vanilla wafers, 3-4 large bananas

Be sure to thaw your whipped topping.
Use bananas that have just ripened. Bananas that are too green won’t have a good taste and bananas that are too ripe will be mushy. The bananas will soften a little as they sit in the fridge.
Make sure you get instant pudding mix and not the cook and serve type. There are also usually two different sizes. You’ll want the smaller box which is about 3.4 ounces.
Let the banana pudding sit in the fridge for at least three hours before serving.
