Ingredients
4 bananas, sliced (you can use 6–8 if you like more fruit). ��1 box vanilla wafers or Chessmen cookies (enough to cover bottom and top of a 9×13 pan). ��1⅔ cups milk (or use 2 cups; recipe is flexible). ��1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk. �1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened. �1 (5 oz) box instant French vanilla (or vanilla) pudding mix. ��1 (12 oz) tub Cool Whip or about 4 cups whipped topping, thawed.
Step-by-step directions
Line the bottom of a 9×13-inch dish with a single layer of vanilla wafers or cookies. ��Slice bananas and lay them evenly over the cookies. �In one bowl, whisk the cold milk and instant pudding mix until thickened (about 2 minutes), then set aside. ��In another bowl, beat softened cream cheese with the sweetened condensed milk until very smooth. ��Gently fold the Cool Whip into the cream cheese mixture until combined. ��Stir together the pudding mixture and the cream cheese/Cool Whip mixture until uniform and creamy. ��Pour this mixture over the bananas and cookies, smoothing the top. �Add another layer of cookies on top, cover the pan, and refrigerate at least 3–4 hours (or overnight) so it sets and the cookies soften. ��Serving tipsFor firmer slices, chill overnight before cutting. �Add an extra banana layer in the middle if you want more fruit flavor. �
