You know when you come across something that completely and pleasantly surprises you? That’s what this banana pudding did for me! So, how to make Banana Pudding with cream chargers?
This dessert is extremely easy to make, the hardest part is waiting for the pudding to set! This isn’t your everyday, average pudding either. This dessert is out of bounds when it comes to flavor, decadence, creaminess. You name it, this banana pudding has it! If you’re trying to win someone over, serve them this.
Ingredient Notes
- Chessman Cookies
- Bananas – You’ll want about 4 ripe bananas, sliced.
- Milk – Any type will do! Dairy or non dairy. I usually use less milk than what’s on the pudding box instructions, because I like a firmer pudding, but feel free to follow the instructions on the box completely.
- Pudding – You can use a box of instant vanilla pudding
- Cream Cheese – I prefer to use full fat for my cream cheese. Just make sure your cream cheese is softened and at room temperature.
- Sweetened Condensed Milk – This is going to add a nice hint of sweetness and make our banana pudding extra creamy.
- Whipped Cream/Cool Whip: You can either use a couple cups of whipped topping thawed, or equal amount sweetened whipped cream!
How to make Banana Pudding?
- Prep: Line the bottom of a 8x8x2-inch baking dish with lady chessmen cookies. You should be able to get 5 across by 4 down, so 20 cookies per layer.
- Make Pudding: In a bowl, combine the milk, pudding mix and blend using a handheld electric mixer until smooth. Set aside and let it set.
- Mix & Combine: Using another bowl, combine the cream cheese and condensed milk together and mix until smooth. Fold the whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture. Add the cream cheese mixture to the pudding mixture and stir until well blended.
- Assemble: Pour half the mixture over the first layer of the cookies then top with the sliced bananas. Top with remaining cream cheese mixture and spread evenly over the bananas. Finally top with another layer of chessman cookies.
- Chill & Serve: Refrigerate for at least a couple hours before serving.
Now, have a try. Make and enjoy!
