Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 package Cream Cheese, softened 8 oz package
- 1 can Sweetened Condensed Milk 14 oz can
- 1 container Whipped Topping 12 oz container, thawed
- 2 pieces Bananas peeled and sliced thinly
- 1 box Vanilla Pudding Mix instant
- 1.5 cups Milk for pudding, or as directed on pudding package
- 1.5 cups Nilla Wafers or Graham Cracker Crumbs for topping, crushed as needed
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a hand mixer until completely smooth and lump-free, about 2 to 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides once so everything is evenly mixed.
- Gradually add the sweetened condensed milk to the cream cheese while mixing at low speed. Continue mixing until the mixture is well combined and silky, about 1 to 2 minutes.
- Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping using a rubber spatula until the mixture is smooth and uniform—don’t overmix or you’ll lose volume.
- Prepare the vanilla pudding according to the package instructions using 1 1/2 cups of milk. Whisk until smooth and let it set for a couple minutes until slightly thickened.
- In your serving cups, start with a layer of 1/3 of the cream cheese mixture, smoothing it down gently with the back of a spoon.
- Add a layer of sliced bananas, arranging them so each cup gets even coverage; then spoon a layer of vanilla pudding over the bananas.
- Repeat the layers (cream mixture, bananas, pudding) until the cups are filled, finishing with a generous layer of pudding on top.
- Crush Nilla Wafers or graham crackers and sprinkle on top for a crunchy finish. Cover the cups and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to let the flavors meld and the pudding set. Serve chilled.
Notes
Store assembled Banana Pudding Cups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Add cookie topping just before serving for best texture.
