On the Other Side of the Coast

This is by far my favorite pick me up dessert, although I rarely make it. I discovered it again on a recent trip to NY. How can I not replicate it now?

Magnolia's Famous Banana Pudding

1 14 oz can condensed milk

1 1/2 c ice cold water

1 3.4 oz package instant vanilla pudding mix, Jell-o is good

3 c heavy whipping cream

1 12 oz box Nilla wafers

4 c ripe sliced bananas

On medium speed, beat together the sweetened condensed milk and water until well mixed. About 1 minute.

Add pudding mix. and beat for about 2 minutes more.

cover or refrigerate for 4 hours for pudding to set.

On medium speed, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold pudding mixture to the whipped cream, until well blended

to assemble dessert, use a trifle bowl. Use 1/3 of wafers, 1/3 of bananas, and 1/3 of pudding. Repeat alternating layers. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and chill in refrigerator for 4 hours or no longer than 8 hours, before serving.

Yummmmy!
