DIRECTIONS
- Make pudding: In a large mixing bowl, combine milk, pudding mix and sweetened condensed milk. Whisk thoroughly, breaking up any lumps, and refrigerate until set, about 5 minutes.
- Make whipped cream: In another large bowl, combine heavy cream, marshmallow fluff and vanilla. Beat with a hand mixer until stiff peaks form.
- Cover the bottom of a three-quart trifle dish with a couple handfuls of crushed graham crackers. Top with one-third of the pudding, followed by a layer of banana slices. Add half of the whipped cream. Cover with marshmallows, chocolate bars and more graham crackers —you may want to also stand some graham crackers up vertically, so you see the full circle along the edge of the trifle dish.
- Repeat layering process once more, ending with a final layer of whipped cream sprinkled with marshmallows, chocolate bars and graham crackers. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or up to overnight.
This recipe is a dessert that says it all in its name. S’more banana pudding; the fun of chocolate, marshmallows, graham crackers, and banana pudding put together. For your next party or gathering, make some of this pudding to share with others and it will be the biggest hit of the night.
