Ingredients:
- 2 bags of Vanilla Wafers
- 6 to 8 bananas, sliced
- 2 cups of milk (or almond milk)
- 1 (5 oz.) box of French Vanilla pudding mix (regular vanilla works too)
- 1 (8 oz.) package of cream cheese
- 1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk

Instructions:
- Prepare the Base: Line the bottom of a 13×9-inch pan (about 2 inches deep) with vanilla wafers.
- Add Bananas: Arrange the sliced bananas evenly over the layer of cookies. Using up to 8 bananas adds extra deliciousness to this dessert!
- Make the Pudding: In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk and pudding mix. Almond milk is a great option if you prefer to cut back on dairy.
- Cream Cheese Mixture: In a separate large bowl, beat together the condensed milk and cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Fluffy Layer: Gently fold the thawed whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture to create a light, fluffy texture.
- Combine: Gradually mix the pudding mixture into the cream cheese mixture, ensuring everything is well incorporated (don’t forget to scrape the bottom of the bowl!).
- Layer: Pour the creamy mixture over the cookies and bananas in the pan.
- Top: Finish with a layer of vanilla wafers on top.
- Chill or Serve: Enjoy it immediately or refrigerate until you’re ready to dig in!
