Chick-fil-A Banana Pudding (Print Format)

Light, creamy layers with banana and vanilla pudding deliver a nostalgic, sweet Southern-style dessert.

# Ingredients:

01 - 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
02 - 1.5 cups ice-cold water
03 - 3.5 oz box instant vanilla pudding mix
04 - 2.5 cups heavy cream
05 - 2/3 cup marshmallow fluff
06 - 5-6 barely ripe large bananas
07 - 1 box Nilla Wafers

# Steps:

01 - In a large bowl, combine sweetened condensed milk with ice-cold water, whisking until well combined. Whisk in the vanilla pudding mix vigorously until smooth and lump-free. Cover and refrigerate for about 4 hours until set.
02 - In a separate large bowl, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add marshmallow fluff and continue whipping until stiff peaks are achieved.
03 - Gently fold whipped cream into the prepared pudding in increments, being careful not to deflate the mixture. Stir until minimal streaks remain.
04 - In a 9x13 baking dish or large bowl, arrange a layer of Nilla wafers. Place banana slices on top, followed by spreading 1/3 of the cream mixture evenly. Repeat with two more layers, ending with a final layer of cream.
05 - Decorate the top as desired, such as sprinkling Nilla wafer crumbs. Refrigerate for at least 4 more hours before serving.

# Tips:

01 - Prepare the pudding the day before serving for best results.
02 - The pudding mixture may appear runny when assembling but thickens as it refrigerates.
03 - To prevent bananas from browning, consider slicing and adding them just before serving.
