Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and butter until glossy.
Layer the vanilla wafers, sliced bananas and warm custard in a serving dish, repeating to use everything up, then press cling film directly onto the surface and refrigerate until fully chilled.
Top with whipped cream just before serving.
