“Strawberry Banana Pudding – A Creamy, Fruity Dessert Everyone Will Love!”

In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and whole milk. Continue whisking for about 2 minutes until the mixture thickens.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the pudding mixture until smooth and well combined.
Assemble the Layers:

In a trifle dish or a large glass bowl, start by layering a handful of vanilla wafer cookies at the bottom.
Add a layer of sliced bananas, followed by a layer of sliced strawberries.
Spoon a generous layer of the creamy pudding mixture over the fruit. Repeat the layers until you’ve used all the ingredients, ending with a layer of pudding on top.
Chill and Set:

Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the flavors to meld together and the dessert to firm up.
Serve:

Before serving, top the pudding with a few extra slices of bananas and strawberries for a fresh, fruity finish. Garnish with mint leaves if desired for a pop of color.
