Ingredients

Scale

For the Pudding:

  • 11 oz box Vanilla Wafers
  • 4 to 6 ripe bananas, sliced
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 (5 oz) box instant pudding mix (French vanilla preferred)

For the Cream Cheese Base:

  • 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, at room temp
  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 (12 oz) container frozen whipped topping, thawed

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cream Cheese Base: In a large mixing bowl, beat the room temperature cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. This step is crucial for a lump-free dessert.
  2. Add the Sweetened Condensed Milk: Gradually pour in the sweetened condensed milk, beating continuously until silky and well combined.
  3. Make the Pudding: Whisk together the instant pudding mix with milk until thickened. Let it set for 5 minutes.
  4. Combine the Mixtures: Gently fold the pudding into the cream cheese mixture until smooth.
  5. Fold in the Whipped Topping: Add most of the whipped topping to the pudding mixture, folding until combined.
  6. Start Layering: Spread a layer of the pudding mixture in a serving dish.
  7. Layer the Magic: Alternate wafers, bananas, and pudding mixture.
  8. Final Touches: Top with whipped topping, wafers, and banana slices. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours.

Notes

  • You can customize this pudding by adding nuts, chocolate shavings, or caramel drizzle on top.
  • For a quicker version, use instant vanilla pudding mix instead of making it from scratch.
