Paula Deen's Banana Pudding

A week or so ago I had some of the girls from youth over for a sleepover. I have been trying to try out new recipes as often as possible and with their help we picked out a few from pinterest that we wanted to try. One of them was our dessert recipe, Paula Deen's very own banana pudding recipe! Boy, was it wonderful! So wonderful in fact, that I had to share it with all of you!

Here are the ingredients you need:

4 banana, sliced

3 cups milk

1 box vanilla wafers

2 small boxes instant french vanilla pudding mix

1 8oz pkg cream cheese

1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk

1 12 oz container cool whip

**In attempt to make it slightly healthier I used fat free cream cheese and light cool whip and the recipe still turned out great!

Here's the directions:

Step One: Line the bottom of a casserole dish with vanilla wafers.

Step Two: Slice bananas and spread on top of wafers.

Step Three: Combine milk and pudding mix with a blender. 

Step Four: In a separate bowl mix together cream cheese and condensed milk until smooth. Gradually fold in whip cream.

Step Five: Add the cream cheese mixture to the pudding mixture and stir until well blended.

Step Six: Spread over wafers and bananas in dish.

Step Seven: Add a layer of wafers to the top.

Sadly, my phone has this new "trick" where it randomly deletes pictures. My final product was one of those lucky pictures :( but believe me, this pudding looked and tasted AMAZING! It was so good that it was gone before I could take another picture!

Enjoy!
