Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (11 ounce) box of Nilla Wafers
  • 45 medium ripe (but firm) bananas
  • 1 (8 ounce) block of cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 (3.4 ounce) boxes of instant banana pudding mix
  • 3 1/2 cups cold whole milk
  • 1 (8 ounce) tub of frozen whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed

Instructions

  • Create the Crust: Line a 9×13 inch baking dish with parchment paper. Arrange a single, snug layer of Nilla Wafers to cover the entire bottom of the dish.
  • Slice the Bananas: Peel and slice your bananas into rounds about 1/4-inch thick. Layer them evenly over the Nilla Wafers.
  • Whip the Creamy Layer: In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy. Gradually beat in the powdered sugar until well combined.
  • Make the Pudding: In a separate bowl, whisk the instant banana pudding mixes with the cold milk for about 2 minutes. Let it sit for a few minutes to thicken slightly.
  • Combine and Spread: Gently fold the thickened pudding and the entire tub of whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture. Spread this mixture evenly over the banana layer in your dish.
  • Top and Chill: Crush the remaining Nilla Wafers and sprinkle them over the top. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, but ideally overnight.
