I never knew I was such a fan of banana pudding, I mean, I've always liked it but this? This has changed my life. I set out looking for a recipe to try and came across the Magnolia Bakery recipe, I was very hesitant since it uses convenience ingredients like instant pudding and sweetened condensed milk. I passed by it several times thinking I wanted to make a scratch pudding or pastry cream but eventually decided to give it a shot since so many people swear by their version. Although I'm not sure the magic of the dish is a result of these ingredients, it works and it works well. The addition of salted caramel takes this from really good to mind blowing, as in take this spoon away from me or I will eat the whole batch. I've already declared this as my birthday dessert and my birthday is over 2 months away. That's how good this is.

Printable Recipe
Ingredients
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, combine the water and the condensed milk until well mixed, add your instant pudding and continue whisking for about 2 minutes. Transfer to the refrigerator to chill until set ( I only waited about an hour but recipe says 3-4).
Once set, whip your heavy cream to stiff peaks and gently fold in your pudding. In the vessel(s) of your choice, layer the wafers, pudding and bananas, and caramel, making sure to end with a layer of pudding to keep bananas from being exposed to the air. Refrigerate overnight to allow cookies to soften.
Note: You can make one big dish or like I did, individual servings, this recipe makes a lot.
