Banana Coconut Cream Dessert image

A bump up from vanilla pudding with bananas! But almost as easy! (You could cheat and use whipped cream from a can... Also, because of a contest, there is no milk in the pudding rather half heavy cream and half water. Under normal circumstances, I'd just use the 2 cups milk!)
