In another bowl, whisk together instant banana pudding mixture and milk until smooth and slightly thickened – about 2 minutes.
Pour banana pudding mixture over rice krispie layer and spread it evenly across with spatula.
Chill and Serve:
Allow to cool at room temperature for approximately 30 minutes so that it sets properly.
Leave in fridge until thoroughly chilled –about 60-120 min.
Serve while still on the plate with whipped cream, sliced bananas and crushed vanilla wafers on top.
Hints for Achievement:
Rapidly mix the marshmallows and Rice Krispies to guarantee that they coat uniformly.
Combine properly the banana pudding mix before pouring it over the Rice Krispies for a smooth mixture.
Refrigerate it so that each layer sets well.
