Ingredients

  • 2 cups whole milk or half & half
  • 2 3.4 oz boxes instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 8 oz container spreadable cream cheese softened
  • 1 8 oz sour cream
  • 2 8 oz frozen whipped topping thawed
  • 1 11 oz box vanilla wafers plus additional for garnishing
  • 6 medium bananas sliced

Instructions

  • Using an electric mixer whip together milk, pudding mix and vanilla until thickened but still pourable. Pour into a separate bowl. Set aside.
  • To the same mixing bowl add sweetened condensed milk, cream cheese and sour cream. Beat with mixer until smooth and fully combined.
  • Lower the speed of the mixer and beat pudding back into condensed milk mixture. Beat until fully combined. By hand fold in one 8 oz container whipped topping.
  • Assemble: In a 4-5 quart trifle bowl or dish, layer vanilla wafers, sliced bananas and pudding. Depending on size and shape of dish, I usually divide into thirds. Repeat until all is used ending with pudding.
  • Frost the top with remaining whipped topping and decorate with additional vanilla wafers, if desired.
  • Chill for at least 4 hours prior to serving.

Notes

To make one day ahead, toss sliced bananas with 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice to delay browning.
