The Best banana pudding sweetened condensed milk recipe

I’ve always been a fan of banana pudding, and when I discovered a recipe that uses sweetened condensed milk, I knew I had to give it a try. The result is a creamy, dreamy dessert that’s perfect for any occasion.

My family loves it when I make it for special events or just as a sweet treat after dinner. The best part?

It’s incredibly easy to make and requires just a few ingredients. One of the key techniques in this recipe is using high-quality vanilla extract to give the pudding its distinct flavor.

I like to use a real vanilla bean if I have one on hand, but store-bought extract works just as well. When you mix the sweetened condensed milk with the vanilla and whipped cream, you get a rich, velvety texture that’s simply divine.

My kids can’t get enough of it, and I love how it brings us all together over dessert time.
