Description

A creamy, dreamy dessert featuring layers of ripe bananas, vanilla pudding, and Nilla Wafers, perfect for gatherings or cozy nights at home.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bananas, sliced
  • 3 cups milk
  • 1 box Nilla Wafers
  • 2 small boxes instant French vanilla pudding
  • 1 package (8 oz.) cream cheese
  • 1 can (14 oz.) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 container (12 oz.) Cool Whip
  • Strawberries (sliced)

Instructions

  1. Line the bottom of a 9×13 inch dish with Nilla Wafers, creating a golden base for your pudding.
  2. Slice the bananas and layer them evenly on top of the wafers; the sweet aroma will be irresistible!
  3. Next, lay half of the sliced strawberries on top of the bananas, adding a touch of color.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine the milk and pudding mix; blend using a handheld mixer until smooth and creamy.
  5. In another bowl, mix together the cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk until smooth—the perfect blend of richness!
  6. Gradually fold in the fluffy Cool Whip, creating a light and airy texture.
  7. Add the cream cheese mixture to the pudding mix; stir until well blended and dreamy.
  8. Pour the luscious mixture over the bananas, spreading it evenly.
  9. Layer with the remaining Nilla Wafers, and arrange the remaining strawberries around the edge of the dish for a pretty finish.
  10. Chill in the fridge until you’re ready to serve, allowing all those delightful flavors to meld together.
