Ingredients
- 6 Large Banana’s
- 11 oz Box Vanilla Wafer’s
- 3/4 Cup JELLO Instant Banana Cream Pudding Mix
- 1/4 Cup JELLO Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix
- 3–1/2 Cups Unsweetened Evaporated Milk
- 4 Cups + More To Cover of Cool Whip
- 8oz Philadelphia Cream Cheese
- 1 Tbs Melted Butter
- 1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 Cup Confectioner’s Powder Sugar
- 1 Tsp Cinnamon
- 1/4 Tsp Nutmeg
Instructions
- Add the Vanilla and banana cream pudding mix to a large mixing bowl, then pour in the milk and blend with a hand mixer on low speed for 2 to 2-1/2 minutes.
- In another large mixing bowl, add in the cream cheese and blend on low speed for 30 seconds, and add the sugar and blend for 30 seconds.
- Then add in the cool whip and blend on low speed for 1 minute or until smooth.
- Add the pudding to the bowl of cream cheese and cool whip, then blend on low speed for 1 minute.
- Add in the vanilla, melted butter, and spices, then blend again until everything is well incorporated.
*Make sure you’re using a spatula to push the ingredients on the side of the bowls down into the mixtures so everything is well blended.* - Chop 3 bananas into 1/8 inch circular pieces, then add the other 3 bananas to a small bowl and mash well.
- Layering: Get a medium-sized serving bowl and add in enough pudding to fully coat the bottom.
- Add in some wafers, top them with some Bananas, then add the mashed bananas.
*Repeat this layering order 2 more times* - The topping: Cover the top which should be the mashed bananas with the remaining pudding, the remaining Cool Whip, and decorate the top as you please with the remaining wafers.
- Cover with plastic wrap and sit in the refrigerator to chill.
Notes
- I sometimes let my pudding mix sit overnight or at least 8 hours before layering it for a thicker pudding.
- Letting it sit for a while also gives all the ingredients time to marry and it tastes so much better by the time you layer everything
- Just so you know I used a round-inch size glass serving bowl to put my banana pudding in.
- If you want more of a banana flavor, use 3/4 cup of banana cream pudding mix and only 1/4 cup of vanilla pudding mix, which is a 75/25 banana cream to vanilla pudding ratio.
