Description
A delicious layered banana pudding dessert with creamy filling and crunchy wafers.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces block cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 14 ounces can sweetened condensed milk
- 5 ounces box INSTANT vanilla pudding mix (larger box)
- 3 cups milk (2% or higher)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 8 ounces tub whipped topping (COOL WHIP), thawed (divided use)
- 11 ounces box Nilla wafers (divided use)
- 5–7 bananas, peeled and sliced (divided use)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, beat 8 ounce block cream cheese, softened to room temperature with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and fluffy.
- Add in 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk, 5 ounce box INSTANT vanilla pudding mix, 3 cups milk, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract. Mix until combined well (this can take a few minutes so be patient for it all to come together).
- Finally, stir in half of the whipped topping.
- To layer: place one-third of the Nilla wafers in a layer on the bottom of a trifle dish, large bowl, or a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Add a single layer of sliced bananas.
- Then pour one-third of the pudding mixture on top (enough to cover all the bananas).
- Continue with two more layers.
- Top with remaining whipped topping.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one to two hours before serving so it can thicken up and the wafers can soften.
Notes
- Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for easy mixing.
- Chill the trifle to achieve the best texture.
