OMG! The Best Banana Pudding Ever

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Pudding:
   • In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the French Vanilla pudding mix and 2 cups of milk. Follow the instructions on the pudding box for setting the pudding (usually refrigerating for 5 minutes or so).
2. Mix the Cream Cheese:
   • In a separate large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to blend the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. This should only take about 2 minutes.
3. Combine Pudding and Cream Cheese Mixture:
   • Once the pudding is set, gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture. Add in the whipped topping and mix until smooth. This will create a fluffy, creamy layer.
4. Assemble the Pudding:
   • In a large trifle dish or any serving bowl, start by laying down a layer of vanilla wafers at the bottom.
   • Follow with a layer of sliced bananas on top of the wafers.
   • Pour a generous layer of the creamy pudding mixture over the bananas.
   • Repeat the process: wafers, bananas, pudding, until the dish is full. End with a nice layer of pudding on top.
5. Chill & Serve:
   • Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best flavor and texture.
   • Before serving, you can top with extra vanilla wafers or even a sprinkle of cinnamon for that extra touch.
