Ingredients:
- 2 boxes Vanilla Wafers
- 6 to 8 bananas, sliced
- 2 cups milk
- 1 (5 oz.) box French Vanilla pudding
- 1 (8 oz.) package cream cheese
- 1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 (12 oz.) container frozen whipped topping, thawed (or equal amount sweetened whipped cream)
Instructions:
- Layer the Cookies and Bananas: Begin by lining the bottom of a 13×9 inch dish with one bag of vanilla wafers. Then, layer the sliced bananas on top of the cookies.
- Prepare the Pudding Mixture: In a bowl, combine the milk and French Vanilla pudding mix. Use a handheld electric mixer to blend until smooth and well combined.
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In another bowl, mix together the cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk until smooth and creamy.
- Combine the Mixtures: Gently fold the whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated. Then, add this cream cheese mixture to the pudding mixture and stir until well blended.
- Assemble the Banana Pudding: Pour the creamy mixture over the layer of cookies and bananas in the dish, spreading it out evenly. Then, cover the pudding layer with the remaining vanilla wafers.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the banana pudding until ready to serve. This allows the flavors to meld together and the pudding to set. Serve chilled and enjoy the best banana pudding ever!
