🛒 INGREDIENTS YOU’LL NEED

  • 1 box (12 oz) vanilla wafers
  • 6 ripe bananas, sliced
  • 2 cups cold milk
  • 1 box (5 oz) instant vanilla pudding
  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 container (12 oz) whipped topping, thawed

🥄 STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS

1️⃣ Prepare the Pudding

In a large bowl, whisk together the cold milk and instant vanilla pudding mix. Whisk for about 2 minutes until thick and smooth. Set aside.

2️⃣ Make the Creamy Base

In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until completely smooth and lump-free. Slowly add the sweetened condensed milk and mix until creamy and well combined.

3️⃣ Combine the Mixtures

Gently fold the pudding into the cream cheese mixture. Then carefully fold in the whipped topping until light, fluffy, and fully blended. This is what gives the pudding its signature silky texture.

4️⃣ Assemble the Cups

In individual dessert cups (or a trifle dish):

  • Start with a layer of vanilla wafers
  • Add sliced bananas
  • Spoon a generous layer of pudding
    Repeat layers until cups are full, finishing with pudding on top.

5️⃣ Chill to Perfection

Cover and refrigerate for at least 2–4 hours (overnight is even better). This allows the flavors to meld and the wafers to soften perfectly.
