Banana Pudding With Instant Pudding And Vanilla Wafers

"This Southern banana pudding with instant pudding needs no stove and no eggs to temper. Jell-O instant vanilla pudding folded with whipped heavy cream makes a thick, creamy base for layers of fresh bananas and vanilla wafers, the same dessert you’ll find at every cookout and potluck below the Mason-Dixon line. It takes about 15 minutes of hands-on time, then chills in the fridge until it’s set. Most banana pudding falls into two camps: a cooked custard that takes time and patience, or an instant pudding version made fluffy with Cool Whip. This one takes the quicker route but adds real whipped cream. You stir the instant pudding mix into sweetened condensed milk and cold water instead of regular milk, then fold in heavy cream whipped to stiff peaks."
