Step-by-Step Instructions for Creamy Strawberry Banana Pudding
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the vanilla pudding mix, milk, and sweetened condensed milk. Whisk together for about 2 minutes until smooth.
  2. Once thickened, gently fold in the whipped cream using a spatula, aiming for a consistent blend without overmixing.
  3. Wash and slice your fresh strawberries and ripe bananas into thin pieces, about ¼-inch thickness.
  4. In a large serving dish, layer the pudding mixture, followed by slices of strawberries and bananas, and sprinkle crushed cookies on top.
  5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow flavors to meld and pudding to set.
  6. When ready to serve, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes for easier scooping, then serve.
