Banana Pudding Recipe
Ingredients:
1 (8 ounces) package cream cheese
1 (14 ounces) can sweeten condensed milk
1 (5 ounces) package of instant vanilla pudding mix
3 cups cold milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
(1) (8 ounces) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
(4) bananas, sliced
1/2 (12 ounces) package vanilla wafers
Directions:
Add and beat the cream cheese in a large bowl until fluffy. Beat to smooth, in condensed milk, pudding mixture, cold milk, and vanilla. Fold the whipped topping in half.
Line the bottom with vanilla wafers on a 9×13 inch dish. Sliced banana over the wafers. Cover with pudding mixture, and top with whipped topping left. Let it chill.
Tip:
Look for those that are mature with no brown or green spots when selecting bananas. They will break down in the pudding over time so that you will pick the freshest bananas you can find, ready to eat. Divide it in thick chunks, and keep it in between the vanilla pudding layers.
Put the plastic wrap lined up in the refrigerator for up to 48 hours. You can mix a cup of water on the bananas with a tbsp or two lemon juice to spritz before adding them to the pudding to avoid the Bananas browning.
