Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 (3.4 oz) box instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 2 cups cold whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 (8 oz) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
  • 1 (11 oz) box vanilla wafer cookies
  • 4 medium ripe bananas, sliced
  • 1 pound fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

Method
 

  1. Beat cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth. Add sweetened condensed milk and vanilla, beat again. Add pudding mix and cold milk, beat on low for 2 minutes until thick.
  2. Fold in the thawed whipped topping until no streaks remain.
  3. Peel and slice the bananas ¼ inch thick. Hull and slice the strawberries the same thickness.
  4. Spread a thin layer of pudding in a 9x13-inch dish. Top with a layer of cookies, then bananas and strawberries. Repeat layers twice, ending with pudding. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours.
  5. Uncover, let sit 5 minutes, then scoop into bowls and serve.

Notes

The pudding needs a full 4 hours in the fridge to set up properly, so build it the morning of or the night before. The cookies soften into cake-like layers, and the fruit and cream meld into one cool, creamy spoonful.
