Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium ripe bananas
- 1 box (5.1 ounces) vanilla pudding mix
- 3 cups cold milk
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 8 ounces (softened) cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 ounces whipped topping (Cool Whip or homemade)
- 1 box (about 12 ounces) vanilla wafers
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth using a hand or stand mixer.
Add the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla pudding mix, and cold milk to the cream cheese. Beat the mixture until fully combined and smooth.
Stir in the vanilla extract for added flavor.
Gently fold the whipped topping into the pudding mixture until it is well incorporated. Set aside.
Peel and slice the bananas into thin rounds.
In a 9x13 inch serving dish or large glass bowl, layer the vanilla wafers evenly on the bottom.
Next, add a layer of banana slices on top of the wafers, followed by a layer of the pudding mixture. Spread the pudding mixture evenly using a spatula.
Repeat the layers: vanilla wafers, banana slices, and pudding mixture. Continue until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of pudding on top.
Crush a few vanilla wafers and sprinkle them on top of the final pudding layer for garnish.
Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the wafers to soften.
Serve chilled and enjoy!
