Ingredients
Scale
1 (5.1 oz) box instant vanilla pudding mix
3 cups cold whole milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (optional)
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
1 (12 oz) container whipped topping, thawed
4–5 ripe bananas
1 box vanilla wafers (about 11 oz)
Extra whipped cream or topping for garnish
Crushed vanilla wafers for garnish
Banana slices for garnish
Caramel drizzle (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the instant pudding mix and cold milk for about 2–3 minutes until it thickens slightly. Stir in vanilla extract if using. Place in the refrigerator to chill for at least 5 minutes.
In a separate large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the sweetened condensed milk and mix until well combined. Gently fold in half of the whipped topping.
Peel and slice the bananas into ¼-inch thick rounds. Optionally, toss them lightly in lemon juice to prevent browning.
In clear plastic cups, mason jars, or trifle bowls, layer the ingredients. Start with vanilla wafers, followed by banana slices, the cream cheese mixture, and vanilla pudding. Repeat layers until the cup is filled, finishing with whipped topping.
Top with extra whipped cream, crushed wafers, banana slices, or caramel drizzle. Refrigerate for at least 2–3 hours before serving.
