Description

A creamy, layered no-bake dessert with vanilla wafers, banana pudding, and whipped topping. Perfect for gatherings or potlucks!


Ingredients

  • 1 box vanilla wafers, crushed (about 2½ cups crumbs)

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened

  • 1 cup powdered sugar

  • 16 oz whipped topping, divided

  • 2 (3.4 oz) boxes instant banana pudding mix

  • 4 cups cold milk

  • 4 medium ripe bananas, sliced

  • Extra crushed wafers for garnish

Instructions

  1. Combine crushed wafers with melted butter and press firmly into a 9×13-inch dish to form the crust. Chill while preparing the filling.

  2. Beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth. Fold in half of the whipped topping, then spread evenly over the crust.

  3. Whisk banana pudding mix with cold milk until thickened. Spread pudding over the cream cheese layer.

  4. Arrange sliced bananas evenly on top of the pudding.

  5. Spread the remaining whipped topping across the top, then garnish with extra crushed wafers.

  6. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.

Notes

 Best enjoyed within 2–3 days. To prevent bananas from browning, ensure they are completely covered with pudding or whipped topping. For a fun twist, try adding sliced strawberries or drizzle with caramel sauce before serving.
