Not yo mama's banana pudding

Pin It Now! This recipe further proves why Paula Deen rocks.  I love her recipes.  They are easy and delicious.  This desset is sweet, creamy, scrumptious and full of banananess.  It's heavenly.  Mr. Wright absolutely loved it to.  I told him he would never ever leave me because of this dessert.  Please try this if you want to impress anyone!  The only thing I did different, and I think it makes a big difference, is I used Vanilla Wafers instead of Chessman cookies like the recipe calls for.  Enjoy!

Ingredients

• 2 bags Pepperidge Farm Chessmen cookies


• 6 to 8 bananas, sliced


• 2 cups milk


• 1 (5-ounce) box instant French vanilla pudding


• 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened


• 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk


• 1 (12-ounce) container frozen whipped topping thawed, or equal amount sweetened whipped cream

Directions

Line the bottom of a 13 by 9 by 2-inch dish with 1 bag of cookies and layer bananas on top.

In a bowl, combine the milk and pudding mix and blend well using a handheld electric mixer. 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. Pour the mixture over the cookies and bananas and cover with the remaining cookies. Refrigerate until ready to serve
