Banana Pudding - an original recipe of mine :)

I did a revamp of the Dirt Pudding recipe to become Banana Pudding and it is absolutely amazing!!

(Printable Version)
What you need:

• Mini vanilla wafers
• 2 pkg. banana cream flavored instant pudding
• 3 cups milk
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese
• 1/4 cup butter
• 2 to 4 bananas
• 1 container Cool Whip

Directions:

Place some vanilla wafers at the bottom of the dish you will serve the banana pudding out of.

In another bowl, mix puddings with milk. Set aside. *It will be soupy but it DOES thicken up during the next step*

Stir together cream cheese, butter and powdered sugar until very smooth. I like to microwave my butter and cream cheese to soften them both up.

Add sugar mixture into pudding and stir well to combine. Your pudding should be very thick and pudding-like by now.

Slice up bananas!

Fold bananas and Cool Whip into the pudding mixture. Do not stir until combined. Just fold it in.

Pour over vanilla wafers.

Add vanilla wafers on top. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving to "set."

I halved the recipe and still have half a bowl left after 4 people ate on it. It's very rich and very very very good! I haven't found any banana pudding recipes like this one! So I will claim it as my own :)

Fantastical Original
