Creating the Chick-Fil-A Banana Pudding Copycat Recipe is straightforward, especially with these easy steps:

1. Prepare the Pudding: In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and milk until smooth. Set aside for about 5 minutes, allowing it to thicken.
2. Whip the Cream: In another large bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Use an electric mixer to whip until soft peaks form.
3. Combine the Mixtures: Gently fold the whipped cream into the thickened vanilla pudding until fully combined. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
4. Layer the Pudding: Start by adding a layer of vanilla wafers at the bottom of a large serving dish. Next, add a layer of sliced bananas atop the wafers.
5. Add Pudding Mixture: Spoon a layer of the pudding mixture over the bananas and wafers. Smooth it out with a spatula.
6. Repeat Layers: Continue layering with remaining wafers, bananas, and pudding mixture until you reach the top of the dish. Finish with a layer of pudding.
7. Chill: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. Allow it to chill for at least 2 to 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
8. Garnish Before Serving: Just before serving, you can crush a few vanilla wafers on top for decoration if desired.
