This is a simple recipe but very creamy and delicious. It is requested at almost every family function! In addition to the vanilla pudding, you may also add chocolate pudding as a layer to make a banana pudding with chocolate and strawberries. You may also decrease or increase the amount of fruit or cool whip to your desired taste. Garnish with blueberries, raspberries, chocolate shavings, or as desired.

This pudding got raving reviews at my family's 4th of July celebration! I loved it! I followed it to a T. Personally I think it was very clever to include the cream cheese in the recipe because it gave it such a smooth delicious flavor and added some tartness. It was very unique and I nor my family have ever had banana pudding this way but it turned out so good that my grandmother and mom who are the cooking gurus in the family have requested that I make it at our next family functions. I didn't get to include the raspberries because I bought a bad batch but the rest of the desert was so great I'm sure either way it will be delicious time and time again. I'm never making banana pudding the same way I did before. Thanks for the great recipe! Read More

I have made banana pudding forever but never found a recipe that I thought was perfect - until now. Took to a family picnic and there were nothing but raves about it. I did use a few more bananas and wafers to fill it up but no complaints. Thanks for the recipe! Read More

Had to make some adjustments living in Spain. Used instant "natillas" instead of vanilla pudding but it's basically the same. Also had to heat the mix up to get it to thicken instead of letting it sit in the fridge. Still it turned out delicious. Read More
