Banana Pudding Recipe

If you’ve ever tasted Banana Pudding, you know it’s irresistible. Rich and creamy with layers of ripe bananas, smooth pudding, and vanilla wafers in each bite, this dessert is loved by kids and adults alike for its timeless flavors!

Ingredients

1 box of Vanilla Wafers
Fresh bananas, sliced
Milk
1 box of instant vanilla pudding mix
Cream cheese
Sweetened condensed milk
Cool Whip (thawed) or an equal amount of sweetened whipped cream

Instructions

In a medium bowl, use an electric mixer to blend the milk and instant pudding mix.
In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk, mixing on medium speed until smooth.
Gently fold in the whipped topping with a spatula, then fold the pudding mixture into the cheese mixture until well combined. Go ahead, sneak a taste!
Cover the bottom of a 9×13 baking dish (or trifle bowl) with half of the vanilla wafers. Layer with banana slices (1/4 to 1/2 inch thick) over the wafers.
Pour the creamy pudding mixture over the banana layer. Top with the remaining wafers.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to let the flavors blend and the wafers soften.
