This Banana Pudding is a no-bake classic with layers of creamy pudding, ripe bananas, and soft vanilla wafers. Perfect for potlucks, holidays, or weeknight treats, it’s rich, smooth, and even better after chilling overnight.

Ingredients

  • 1 box vanilla wafers (divided)
  • 4–5 ripe bananas, sliced
  • 2 cups cold milk
  • 1 box (5.1 oz) French vanilla instant pudding mix
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 12 oz frozen whipped topping, thawed (or equal amount sweetened whipped cream)

Instructions

  1. Line the bottom of a 13×9-inch dish with half the vanilla wafers.
  2. Arrange sliced bananas evenly over the wafers.
  3. In a bowl, whisk milk and pudding mix until smooth and thickened.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk until creamy.
  5. Fold whipped topping into cream cheese mixture.
  6. Combine cream cheese mixture with pudding; stir until blended.
  7. Pour mixture over banana-wafer base; top with remaining wafers.
  8. Refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes

  • Sprinkle cinnamon between layers for warmth.
  • Swap vanilla wafers for shortbread cookies for a richer taste.
  • Add crushed pineapple for a tropical twist.
  • Best enjoyed within 3 days; do not freeze.
