Steps:
- In a medium bowl, using an immersion blender or a whisk, mix together the milk and instant vanilla pudding mix until well combined. Add the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla, if using, and beat well for about 2 minutes more, until well incorporated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours, or up to overnight, until set.
- In a large bowl, whip the cream with an immersion blender or electric hand mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 5 minutes.
- Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the whipped cream into the chilled pudding until no white streaks remain. Return to the refrigerator until ready to assemble.
- Add the strawberries and sugar to a blender or food processor. Blend for about 30 seconds, until smooth.
- Slice the bananas into ¼-inch thick rounds. You should have about 4 cups.
- To assemble, arrange ⅓ of the vanilla wafers in the bottom of a 4- to 5-quart, wide, preferably glass, bowl, overlapping as needed. Top with ⅓ of the bananas, ⅓ of the strawberry purée, and ½ of the pudding. Repeat the layering twice more, finishing with the remaining wafers and bananas, strawberry purée, and strawberry slices. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or up to 8 hours, before serving.
- Enjoy!

CHOCOLATE BANANA ICEBOX CAKE
Banana pudding with a twist, this icebox cake embraces chocolate wafers instead of the classic vanilla. After a bit of time in the fridge, the cookies soften into thin layers of chocolate cake. Add some mini chocolate chips to the vanilla custard, if you like, but be sure to cover the bananas completely to keep them from oxidizing. This pudding is best the day it's made, or up to 24 hours later - but it's so delicious that it may not last that long.

Steps:
- Place a fine-mesh sieve over a medium bowl, and set it aside.
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch and salt. Add the milk, little by little, while whisking to incorporate it fully. Whisk in the egg yolks. Heat the mixture over medium, stirring constantly, until it has thickened and just come to a low boil, about 4 to 5 minutes. Continue to cook the custard while whisking for another minute, then immediately pour it into the sieve, pushing it through with a small spatula. Stir in the vanilla.
- Chill the custard until it reaches room temperature or colder, about 1 1/2 hours. (To speed the process, you can spread the custard into an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Stir often until the custard has cooled, about 10 minutes. Transfer the custard back to the medium bowl.)
- Whip the 3/4 cup heavy cream to stiff peaks. Fold the cream into the custard.
- Add about 1/2 cup of custard to the bottom of a 2-quart serving dish, spreading it in an even layer. Top with a layer of cookies (about 15), breaking them as needed to fit the edges. Slice the bananas 1/4-inch thick, and top the cookies with a layer of bananas.
- Dollop 1/3 of the remaining custard on top of the bananas and, using an offset spatula, gently spread it into an even layer until the bananas are completely covered. Repeat the layering of cookies, bananas and custard two more times, finishing with custard.
- Cover with plastic wrap and chill until the custard is cold and the cookies have softened, at least 4 hours or up to 24 hours.
- To serve, whip the 1 1/2 cups heavy cream and confectioners' sugar to medium-stiff peaks. Top the pudding with the whipped cream, and sprinkle with cocoa powder, dusting it through a fine-mesh sieve. Serve cold.

Steps:
- Mix together the vanilla pudding mix and the cold milk with an electric mixer. Add in the sweetened condensed milk and the vanilla extract. Mix on medium speed until well blended. Fold in the thawed whipped topping. Place a layer of vanilla wafers at the bottom of a large trifle dish. Then add a single layer of sliced banana. Top with about a third of the pudding mixture. Repeat this layering process two more times and top off with some whipped cream. Keep this dish chilled in the fridge until you serve it. You could also make individual banana puddings in small mason jars for an adorable twist on the classic trifle dish.
Tips:
- Use ripe bananas for the best flavor and texture. Overripe bananas will give the pudding a mushy consistency.
- Don't overcook the pudding. The mixture should be thick and creamy, but not too firm. Overcooked pudding will be rubbery.
- Chill the pudding for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the pudding to set.
- For a richer pudding, use heavy cream instead of milk.
- To make a gluten-free pudding, use gluten-free vanilla wafers or cookies.
- For a vegan pudding, use almond milk or coconut milk instead of milk, and use a vegan butter substitute.
- Get creative with your toppings! You can use whipped cream, fresh fruit, nuts, chocolate chips, or caramel sauce.
Conclusion:
Banana pudding is a classic Southern dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its creamy texture, sweet banana flavor, and crunchy Nilla wafers, it's the perfect dessert for any occasion. Whether you follow the traditional recipe or add your own twist, you're sure to enjoy this delicious treat.
