Ingredients

  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 1/2 cups ice cold water
  • 1 (3.4 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding (preferably Jell-o)
  • 3 cups heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 (12 pack) box chocolate moonpies, cut into eighths
  • 5 ripe bananas, sliced (about 4 cups)

Preparation

Step 1

In a medium bowl, beat sweetened condensed milk and ice water with an electric mixer until well-combined. Add vanilla pudding mix and continue to beat, about 2-3 minutes. Cover and refrigerate pudding until completely set, about 3-4 hours (or overnight).

In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla with an electric mixer until thickened and stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the pudding until well blended and no remaining yellow streaks are visible.

In a large trifle dish (or glass bowl), layer 1/3 of the sliced bananas followed by 1/3 of the chopped moonpies. Cover with 1/3 of the pudding mixture. Repeat until the entire dish is filled. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours, but no longer than 8 hours (or the bananas will start to darken).
