Layer the Nilla Wafers, pudding mixture, and sliced banana in this order until you have used all of the pudding. Depending on the size of your bowl, this may be 2 -4 layers of each.
Top the layered banana pudding with the remaining whipped cream. Crumble a few Nilla Wafer cookies and sprinkle on the top of the whipped cream for decoration if desired.
Cover and chill the banana pudding in the refrigerator for 2 hours before eating.
