Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup cold whole milk
- 1 (3.4 oz) package instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip), plus more for topping
- 24 vanilla wafer cookies
- 2 ripe bananas, sliced
- Crushed vanilla wafers or graham cracker crumbs (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.

- In a separate bowl, whisk together the cold milk and vanilla pudding mix until thickened, about 2 minutes.
- Fold the pudding mixture into the cream cheese mixture until smooth.
- Gently fold in the whipped topping.
- Line mini muffin cups or small dessert cups with one vanilla wafer each.

Notes
- Best served the same day to prevent banana browning.
