Description
This Strawberry Banana Pudding Dream Recipe is a creamy, fruity, easy dessert that feels perfect for potlucks, holidays, and everyday sweet cravings. With layers of vanilla pudding, fresh strawberries, ripe bananas, and soft cookies, it doubles as a no-bake dessert, easy recipe, party dessert, summer treat, and one of my favorite food ideas when I want something simple but impressive.
Ingredients
2 boxes vanilla instant pudding mix
3 cups cold milk
1 package cream cheese, softened
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 container whipped topping
2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
3 bananas, sliced
1 box vanilla wafer cookies
2 tablespoons crushed vanilla wafers for topping
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, whisk the vanilla pudding mix with the cold milk until thickened.
2. In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth, then mix in the sweetened condensed milk until creamy.
3. Fold the prepared pudding into the cream cheese mixture, then gently fold in the whipped topping until light and fluffy.
4. Add a layer of vanilla wafer cookies to the bottom of a serving dish.
5. Spread some of the pudding mixture over the cookies, then top with sliced bananas and strawberries.
6. Repeat the layers until all the ingredients are used, finishing with pudding on top.
7. Garnish with extra strawberries, banana slices, and crushed vanilla wafers.
8. Cover and chill for at least 4 hours before serving.
Notes
Do not assemble the bananas too far in advance without covering them in the pudding layers, or they can brown and make the dessert look less fresh.
