Ingredients

For the Pudding Layer

1 box (3.4 oz) instant banana pudding mix
2 cups cold milk
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
1 tub (8 oz) whipped topping (Cool Whip), thawed
4-5 ripe bananas, sliced
1 box (11 oz) vanilla wafers

For the Strawberry Crunch Topping

20 Golden Oreos, crushed
3 tbsp melted butter
1 box (3 oz) strawberry gelatin mix (Jell-O)

For the Whipped Topping

1 tub (8 oz) whipped topping (Cool Whip), thawed
Fresh strawberries, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Pudding

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the banana pudding mix and cold milk until smooth and thickened (about 2 minutes).
Stir in the sweetened condensed milk until well combined.
Gently fold in the whipped topping and set aside.

Step 2: Make the Strawberry Crunch Topping

Crush the Golden Oreos in a food processor (or place them in a ziplock bag and crush them with a rolling pin).
Transfer the crushed Oreos to a bowl and mix in the strawberry gelatin powder.
Stir in the melted butter until evenly coated. Set aside.

Step 3: Assemble the Banana Pudding

In a large trifle dish or a 9×13 baking dish, start with a layer of vanilla wafers.
Add a layer of sliced bananas on top.
Pour half of the banana pudding mixture over the bananas.

Repeat the layers:

vanilla wafers, bananas, and the remaining pudding mixture.

Step 4:

Top with Strawberry Crunch
Spread the remaining whipped topping evenly over the pudding layers.
Sprinkle the strawberry crunch mixture generously over the top.
Garnish with fresh strawberries if desired.

Step 5: Chill & Serve

Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to allow the flavors to meld together.

Serve chilled and enjoy!
