Banana Pudding

Banana Pudding

• 8 oz. Cream Cheese
• 14 oz Sweetened, Condensed Milk
• 1 (5 ounce) Package Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix
• 3 C Cold Milk
• 1 t Vanilla Extract
• 1 Cool Whip - thawed
• 4 Bananas - sliced
• 1 Package Vanilla Wafers
  

Using a mixer beat the cream cheese until fluffy in a large bowl. Add in the condensed milk, pudding mix, cold milk and vanilla mixing until smooth. Fold in 1/2 of the Cool Whip and continue to mix evenly. Line the bottom of a 9x13 inch dish with vanilla wafers. Arrange sliced bananas evenly over the wafers. Spread with the pudding mixture and top with remaining Cool Whip. Place remaining wafers on top and chill until ready to serve. 

Let me start off by saying that I am not a banana dessert person. Honestly, if I am indulging in a dessert it should have absolutely zero healthiness to it and I associate fruit with being healthy.  With that being said, one of our fabulous friends from Abilene made this one night. I decided to try it and I was hooked. This recipe is so simple to make, but it tastes like you spent hours preparing it. I made it for the family for our big Christmas dinner and I made it for the January HHBC meeting. It received positive feedback on both occasions. Definitely worth trying.
