Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 8 oz package cream cheese, softened
- 1/3 cup butter
- 1 box Jello INSTANT French Vanilla pudding
- 1 box Jello INSTANT Banana Creme pudding
- 8 oz Cool Whip
- 3 1/2 cups milk
- 1 box Nilla Wafers (plus crumbs for garnish if desired)
- 4 ripe bananas, sliced thinly
Instructions
- Cream together butter, cream cheese, and powdered sugar in a mixer until blended, do not overmix.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk together pudding mixes, Cool Whip, and milk.
- Add whipped cream mixture to cream cheese mixture and mix on low until thoroughly blended.
- In the bottom of a trifle dish add a layer of cookies.
- Top with 1″ of pudding mixture.
- Add bananas, followed by cookies then pudding. Repeat for three layers.
- Top with a decorative layer of banana slices and crushed Nilla Wafers if desired.
- For best taste, chill at least 1 hour before serving.
Notes
- This recipe can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator until ready to serve. For best results make the same day to avoid browning of the bananas.
- Chill at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to mix.
- You can also make this in a 9 by 13″ baking dish for easier serving, although you won’t have as many layers.
- I do not recommend using homemade whipped cream for this recipe, Cool Whip is best.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 3 days. Note that bananas will brown the longer they are stored which does not affect taste.
