Description
This Blow Your Mind Banana Pudding is a rich and creamy no-bake dessert layered with fresh bananas, vanilla wafers, and a luscious cream cheese pudding mixture. Perfect for gatherings, it’s easy to make and irresistibly delicious.
Ingredients
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 (5 oz) package instant vanilla pudding mix
- 3 cups cold milk
- 1 (12 oz) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
- 1 (11 oz) box vanilla wafers
- 6 to 8 bananas, sliced
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Add the sweetened condensed milk and mix until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk until smooth and thickened.
- Fold the pudding mixture into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.
- Gently fold in the whipped topping until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- In a large dish, layer vanilla wafers, followed by sliced bananas, then a layer of the pudding mixture.
- Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of pudding on top.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm bananas to prevent them from becoming mushy.
- For a twist, use banana or French vanilla pudding instead of vanilla.
- You can assemble this a day in advance – the flavors get even better overnight.
- Top with crushed vanilla wafers or fresh banana slices right before serving for extra texture.
