Banana Pudding


 

While Ken had COVID, our cute neighbor left two big cups of this delicious pudding on our doorstep.  We enjoyed it sitting on the front porch, sitting 10 feet apart.  A delicious pudding and a happy memory.

Banana Pudding

8 oz. cream cheese, softened

1 can sweetened condensed milk

1 cup milk

1 3.4 oz. package instant vanilla pudding

6 cups sweetened whipped cream or 16 oz. tub of Cool Whip

11 oz box vanilla wafers OR Erin used coconut flavored cookies.  They were delicious.

3 bananas, sliced

Beat the cream cheese until smooth.  Add the sweetened condensed milk, milk, and pudding mix and continue to whip.  Fold in half of the whipped cream until just combined.  

To assemble the pudding, use a 3-quart straight-sided bowl or you can use individual glasses, Or you can assemble it in a 13 x 9 pan, as shown above. Cover the bottom with vanilla wafers, arranging them in a single layer without overlapping.  Spoon about 1/3 of the pudding mixture.  Cover the pudding with another layer of cookies, then slice bananas on top of the cookies.  Spoon half of the pudding that is left on top of the bananas, then more cookies, then another layer of bananas.  Then spoon the remaining pudding, then another layer of cookies.  Then spread the remaining cream on top. and smooth the surface.  Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill for at least two hours.
