Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • 9x13 inch Baking Dish

Ingredients

Crust

  • 1 box vanilla wafers, crushed (about 2 cups crumbs)

Cream Cheese Layer

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 box instant banana pudding mix
  • 2 cups cold milk

Banana Layer

  • 2 ripe bananas sliced

Butter

  • 1/2 cup melted butter

Instructions

  • Prepare the Crust: In a bowl, combine the crushed vanilla wafers and melted butter until well mixed. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish to form a crust.
  • Mix the Cream Cheese Layer: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add one box of instant banana pudding mix and about 2 cups of cold milk, whisking until the mixture thickens.
  • Layer It Up: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the crust, creating a luscious layer.
  • Prepare the Banana Pudding: In another bowl, combine the remaining instant banana pudding mix with 2 cups of cold milk. Whisk until it thickens, then pour over the cream cheese layer for the second delicious layer.
  • Top with Bananas: Arrange the sliced bananas on top of the pudding layer to add an extra burst of flavor.
  • Chill: Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, allowing the flavors to meld together perfectly.
  • Serve and Enjoy: Slice and serve chilled! For an extra touch, you can top it with whipped cream or more vanilla wafer crumbs.

Notes

For best results, let the dish chill overnight to enhance the flavors.
