Ingredients

8 ounces cream cheese room temperature
14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
1 cup heavy whipping cream OR whole milk
3.4 ounce package vanilla instant pudding mix
3 large bananas with green stem (see note), sliced
3 cups heavy whipping cream
½ cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
11 ounce package vanilla wafers regular or reduced fat

Instructions

For the Whipped Cream

In a bowl of a stand mixer combine heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract.
Beat on high until soft peaks form. Spoon the whipped cream into a separate bowl.
Clean out the bowl of the stand mixer to make the pudding mixture.

For the Pudding

In the cleaned bowl, add the cream cheese and beat until smooth.
Add the condensed milk, whole milk and vanilla pudding mix. Beat on high for 2 minutes.
By hand, fold in half the whipped cream mixture that you mixed in the first step.
*If you made vanilla pudding from scratch, you will fold it in here with the whipped cream.

Assemble

In a trifle dish, mason jar, or individual glasses lay a single layer of wafers on the bottom.
Spoon pudding on top, and then add another layer of vanilla wafers. Add sliced bananas, and then spread the remaining pudding mixture and top with a few more wafers and banana slices.
Top with whipped cream and refrigerate 1 hour up to 24 hours.
*If instant vanilla pudding is not available in your area, make homemade cooked vanilla pudding and fold it into the recipe above. Recipe in notes below.
