No Bake Banana Pudding

Banana pudding is the one have to have Easter desserts. My husbands mother and grandmother made this every year. Now with them both gone (missing them every day) it has come to individuals such as myself and my sister in laws to prepare an Easter Dinner that would be approved by them. While they always made everything from scratch there are those times when time runs short and we look for short cuts. This no bake banana pudding recipe tastes great and pleases everyone as well. It is also a great dish to get the next generation involved.

Mom may have made the pudding from scratch in her day and oh my the taste I will never forget this recipe which combines instant pudding mix with sweet condensed milk, cream cheese and cool whip you will get a taste that will delight the taste buds of all.

No Bake Banana Pudding

1- 11 oz box vanilla wafers (you will not use the entire box)

6 bananas, sliced

2 cups milk

1- 5.1 oz instant vanilla pudding

1- 8 oz package cream cheese

1- 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk

1- 12 oz container frozen whipped topping, thawed

Line the bottom of a 13x9x2-inch dish with vanilla wafers; top with the sliced bananas.  In a bowl combine the milk and vanilla pudding mix; mix with a hand mixer.  In another bowl mix together the cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk.  Fold the whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture; add to the pudding mixture and stir until well blended.  Pour the pudding mixture over the bananas and top with vanilla wafers.  Refrigerate until chilled.  This tastes and looks best the day it is made.
