Ingredients

  • 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese softened
  • 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 (5-ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 3 cups cold milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 (8-ounce) tubs whipped topping thawed (or 6 cups homemade whipped cream)
  • 4 bananas sliced
  • ½ (12-ounce) box vanilla wafers

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy and with no clumps. Add sweetened condensed milk, pudding mix, cold milk, and vanilla. Beat until smooth.
  2. Fold in 8 ounces of whipped cream and mix until combined. Let chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  3. Line the bottom of a trifle dish with vanilla wafers around the edge. Add half the pudding mixture and spread across, topped with a layer of sliced bananas. Add a layer of whipped topping. Repeat layers. Nilla wafers - pudding mixture - bananas - whipped topping. 
  4. Top with more wafers and banana slices if desired. Refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.

Notes

  • Recipe note. You MUST use INSTANT pudding powder, not the cook-and-serve kind or it will not set.
  • Make ahead of time. Store it covered in the fridge. It tastes amazing on day two or even day three, which is why it's a great make-ahead dessert.
  • Store leftover dessert in the covered trifle dish or spoon into individual airtight storage containers. Keep it in the fridge for 4-5 days.
