Ingredients

Scale
For the Layers:
  • 1 (11 oz) box vanilla wafer cookies (or graham crackers)
  • 4 bananas, sliced
  • 1 (8 oz) tub whipped topping (Cool Whip)
For the Banana Pudding Filling:
  • 2 (3.4 oz) boxes instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 3 cups cold milk
  • 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For Topping (Optional):

 

  • Crushed vanilla wafers
  • Caramel drizzle
  • Extra banana slices

Instructions

1. Make the Pudding Filling

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together vanilla pudding mix and cold milk. Let sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Fold the prepared pudding into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.

2. Assemble the Layers

  1. Base Layer: In a 9×13-inch dish, spread a layer of vanilla wafers evenly across the bottom.
  2. Bananas: Arrange sliced bananas over the wafers.
  3. Pudding Layer: Spread half of the pudding mixture over the bananas.
  4. Repeat: Add another layer of vanilla wafers, bananas, and the remaining pudding mixture.
  5. Top with Whipped Topping: Spread whipped topping evenly over the pudding layer.

3. Chill & Serve

  1. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to allow the layers to set.
  2. Garnish with crushed vanilla wafers, extra banana slices, or a caramel drizzle before serving.

Notes

  • Make It Lighter: Use sugar-free pudding and low-fat cream cheese.
  • Want It Extra Decadent? Add a layer of dulce de leche or Nutella between the bananas and pudding.
  • Storage: Keep in the fridge for up to 3 days (bananas may brown slightly).
