🧾 Key Ingredients
🥄 The Cream Layer
A fluffy and rich mixture made from vanilla pudding, sweetened condensed milk, and whipped cream (or whipped topping). This creates a smooth, airy texture that holds everything together.
🍌 The Fruit
Freshly sliced bananas add natural sweetness and a soft texture that melts into the layers.
🍪 The Crunch
Vanilla cookies (like Nilla Wafers) bring a slight crunch at first, then soften as they absorb the pudding—creating a cake-like texture.
