- Begin layering in a large serving dish: start with a base layer of vanilla wafers, followed by an even spread of sliced bananas, then fresh strawberries, and a generous layer of the pudding mixture. The wafers will soften as they absorb moisture from the fruit and filling.
- Repeat the layers in the same order—wafers, bananas, strawberries, pudding—until all components are used or the dish is filled. Finish with pudding so the top stays smooth and creamy.
- Chill the dessert for at least 4 hours or overnight. The extended chill allows the flavors to meld and gives the wafers time to become tender while the pudding firms into a lush, scoopable texture.
Once chilled, serve in generous spoonfuls to reveal the colorful layers of fruit and cookies. This Strawberry Banana Pudding Dream is best enjoyed cold and keeps well for gatherings or next-day treats.
