  • Author: Alyssa

Ingredients

🧀 8 oz block cream cheese, softened to room temperature
🥛 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
🍮 5 oz package INSTANT vanilla pudding mix (larger box)
🥛 3 cups milk (2% or higher)
🌾 2 tsp vanilla extract
🥄 8 oz tub whipped topping (COOL WHIP), thawed (divided use)
🍪 11 oz box Nilla wafers (divided use)
🍌 5-7 bananas, peeled and sliced (divided use)

Instructions

1️⃣ In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. Add sweetened condensed milk, pudding mix, and milk. Finally, add vanilla extract and stir well. 🧁
2️⃣ Stir in half of the whipped topping. 🥄
3️⃣ Layer one-third of the Nilla wafers in a dish, followed by a layer of sliced bananas, then pour one-third of the pudding mixture on top. 🍌
4️⃣ Repeat layering two more times with wafers, bananas, and pudding mixture. 🍪
