Step 1: Make the Pudding

In a large bowl, whisk together the instant pudding mix and cold milk until thickened (about 2 minutes).

Fold in the whipped topping until fully combined and smooth.

Step 2: Assemble the Layers

In a trifle dish, glass bowl, or individual serving cups, start with a layer of vanilla wafers on the bottom.

Add a layer of sliced bananas and strawberries on top of the wafers.

Spread a generous layer of the pudding mixture over the fruit.

Repeat the layers—wafers, fruit, pudding—until the dish is full, finishing with a layer of pudding on top.

Step 3: Chill

Cover the pudding with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2–4 hours (or overnight) to allow the flavors to meld and the cookies to soften.

Step 4: Garnish & Serve

Before serving, garnish with additional sliced strawberries, banana slices, and whole vanilla wafers for a beautiful presentation.
