Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 6 to 8 bananas, sliced
- 2 boxes vanilla wafers
Dairy and Cream Ingredients:
- 1 (8 ounces) package cream cheese
- 1 (14 ounces) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 (12 ounces) container frozen whipped topping, thawed (or an equal amount of sweetened whipped cream)
- 2 cups milk
- 1 (5 ounces) box French vanilla pudding mix
Garnish/Base:
(None in this recipe)
Instructions
- Create a solid foundation by arranging vanilla wafers in a single, uniform layer across the entire base of a 13×9 inch (33×23 centimeters) rectangular baking dish.
- Carefully slice ripe bananas into consistent, thin rounds and distribute them evenly over the vanilla wafer base, ensuring complete coverage.
- In a medium mixing bowl, utilize a handheld electric mixer to blend whole milk and French Vanilla pudding mix until the mixture transforms into a silky, lump-free consistency.
- Separately, in another bowl, thoroughly whisk cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk until the combination becomes perfectly smooth and free of any lumps.
- Delicately incorporate whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture, using gentle folding motions to maintain the light, airy texture.
- Softly merge the pudding mixture with the cream cheese blend, stirring until fully integrated and achieving a uniform, creamy texture.
- Carefully pour the completed cream mixture over the banana and wafer foundation, spreading evenly to cover all layers completely.
- Finish the dessert by crumbling the remaining vanilla wafers across the top, creating a decorative and crunchy surface that covers the entire creamy landscape.
Notes
- Make this dessert ahead of time for enhanced flavor, allowing ingredients to meld together beautifully overnight in the refrigerator.
- Use ripe, soft bananas for maximum sweetness and easier slicing across the dessert layers.
- Ensure cream cheese is completely softened at room temperature to prevent lumpy texture when mixing.
- Fold whipped topping gently to maintain its light, airy consistency and prevent deflating the mixture.
- Chill the dessert for at least 2-3 hours before serving to set properly and develop rich, creamy texture.
- Store covered in the refrigerator and consume within 3-4 days for optimal taste and freshness.
