Ingredients

  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 box (3.4 oz) instant banana pudding mix
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 ½ cups crushed vanilla wafers (plus extra for topping)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed milk, banana pudding mix, vanilla extract, and mashed bananas until smooth and thick.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat the cold heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form (about 3–4 minutes).
  3. Gently fold the whipped cream into the banana pudding mixture until fully combined and fluffy.
  4. Fold in crushed vanilla wafers, reserving a handful for garnish.
  5. Transfer the mixture to a loaf pan or freezer-safe container and smooth the top.
  6. Sprinkle remaining crushed wafers on top, cover, and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  7. Let sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before scooping. Serve with additional toppings if desired.

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas with brown spots for best flavor and sweetness.
  • Cover the surface with plastic wrap before freezing to prevent ice crystals.
  • Add banana extract for extra banana flavor, if desired.
  • Do not refreeze once melted, as this can affect texture.
  • Best enjoyed within 2 weeks for optimal taste and creaminess.
