Ingredients

  • ⅔ can sweetened condensed milk
  • ½ cup warm water divided
  • ⅔ cup milk
  • 1 package vanilla instant pudding mix
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp matcha powder
  • 2 –3 ripe bananas sliced
  • Nilla Wafers as needed

Instructions

  • Sift the matcha powder into a bowl. Add a small amount of warm water and whisk until smooth and lump-free.
  • Add the sweetened condensed milk, remaining water, milk, and vanilla instant pudding mix. Whisk until well combined.
  • Refrigerate for about 10 minutes, or until thickened.
  • If you are using cook-and-serve pudding mix instead of instant pudding, prepare it according to the package directions, then let it cool completely before continuing.
  • In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
  • Gently fold the whipped cream into the matcha pudding mixture until smooth and well incorporated.
  • In an 8-inch round pan, arrange a layer of Nilla Wafers on the bottom, followed by sliced bananas.
  • Spoon about half of the matcha pudding mixture over the bananas and spread into an even layer.
  • Add another layer of Nilla Wafers and sliced bananas.
  • Spread the remaining matcha pudding evenly over the top.
  • Crush a few Nilla Wafers and sprinkle them over the top.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 2–4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the wafers to soften.
  • Serve chilled and enjoy!
