Method
Base Layer
Prepare crust
In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed vanilla wafer cookies with the melted unsalted butter until the crumbs are evenly moistened.
Form crust
Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch dish in an even layer to create a compact crust.
Banana Layer
Add banana layer
Arrange the ripe banana slices in a single layer over the crust.
Prepare pudding
In a large bowl, whisk the instant banana pudding mix with 2 cups of milk until smooth and begins to thicken, about 2 minutes.
Assemble pudding on crust
Pour the prepared banana pudding over the banana layer and spread into an even layer.
Chill before cream
Refrigerate the dish for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours) to let the pudding set before adding whipped cream.
Whipped Cream & Final Assembly
Whip cream
In a chilled bowl, beat the heavy cream on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
Sweeten and flavor
Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract; continue beating until stiff peaks form.
Top with whipped cream
Spread the whipped cream over the set pudding layer, smoothing the top.
Garnish and chill
Decorate with extra banana slices if desired and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
