The Best Banana Pudding Ever

Ingredients:

• 2 boxes Vanilla Wafers
• 6 to 8 bananas, sliced
• 2 cups milk
• 1 (5 oz.) box French Vanilla pudding
• 1 (8 oz.) package cream cheese
• 1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
• 1 (12 oz.) container frozen whipped topping, thawed (or equal amount sweetened whipped cream)

Instructions:

1. Layer the Cookies and Bananas: Begin by lining the bottom of a 13×9 inch dish with one bag of vanilla wafers. Then, layer the sliced bananas on top of the cookies.
2. Prepare the Pudding Mixture: In a bowl, combine the milk and French Vanilla pudding mix. Use a handheld electric mixer to blend until smooth and well combined.
3. Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In another bowl, mix together the cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk until smooth and creamy.
4. Combine the Mixtures: Gently fold the whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated. Then, add this cream cheese mixture to the pudding mixture and stir until well blended.
5. Assemble the Banana Pudding: Pour the creamy mixture over the layer of cookies and bananas in the dish, spreading it out evenly. Then, cover the pudding layer with the remaining vanilla wafers.
6. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the banana pudding until ready to serve. This allows the flavors to meld together and the pudding to set. Serve chilled and enjoy the best banana pudding ever!
