Make pudding according to directions on the box using dairy milk. Non-dairy milk can’t be used as the pudding won’t set.
To get an extra creamy or fluffy pudding use a hand mixer with the whisk attachment or make it in the blender. This will ensure that the pudding mix gets extra air and fully mixes with the milk so there are no lumps.
Once the pudding is made mash the banana and combine with the pudding.
Crush half of the nilla wafers into medium sized pieces and mix into the pudding
Refrigerate the pudding for 1 hour
Crush 12 of the remaining wafers and leave the other 4 whole
Once the pudding is ready layer pudding, whipped cream and the crushed wafers evenly among 4 bowls. Once distributed top with more whipped cream and garnish with one of the remaining whole nilla wafers.
