Banana Trifle

This is a quick, easy and light dessert ANYONE can throw together before a small or large gathering.  I was introduced to this dessert by my sister during my wedding and everyone absolutely loved it!

Ingredients:

1 box Vanilla Wafers
1 can Sweetened Condensed Milk
3 ripe bananas
1 (12 0z.) container of whipped cream (room temperature)
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 box Instant Vanilla Pudding
1 cup water
any size pan OR individual serving bowls.

Directions:

1.  Mix the Vanilla Instant Pudding with water and whisk together (it will not look like pudding- it is more for the vanilla flavor than consistency-whisk til the dry pudding mix is completely blended into the water).

2.  Add the entire container of whipped cream, condensed milk and the vanilla extract to the pudding mix, beat together til fluffy.

3.  Place a aingle layer of vanilla wafers on the bottom of the serving dish, top with a layer of sliced bananas and finally a layer of the whipped topping mixture.

4.  Continue layering (about 3 layers) til you reach the top of the serving dish.

5.  Decorate with remaining wafers.

6.  Cover and refrigerate overnight for best results.

Hope you and your guests enjoy this easy to prepare dessert as much as I did!
