Cut and peel about 6 bananas, removing all the strings.

Pour some fresh orange juice over the cut bananas to prevent browning.

In a bowl, pour in a package of instant vanilla pudding and 2 cups of milk.

Whisk the mixture for 2 minutes until it thickens, or use an electric mixer if preferred.

Add condensed milk to the thickened pudding mixture.

Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla paste until well combined.

Fold in a carton of whipped topping until the mixture is light and fluffy.

In a small cup or container, layer vanilla wafers, sliced bananas, and the vanilla pudding mixture.

Repeat the layering process with more vanilla wafers, bananas, and pudding as desired.

Sprinkle some crumbs over the top layer.

Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the pudding to firm up.
