Banana Pudding Supreme

Last weekend we found ourselves with so many plans for Saturday I wasn't sure how we'd squeeze them all in!  Sadie had stayed at Uncle Darrin and Aunt Cara's.  So she had to be picked up, at a pot luck at 11:30, parade started at 2, then home to drop off empty dishes, pick up fresh ones and to a fish fry by 5:30.  I had no idea what food I would make that would be yummy, travel well and things that could be made and left at home all day and picked up to take for dinner.  I figured it out and we made it to every event in time. :) 


 Along the way I ran across this recipe that was amazing!   This is a twist on the classic Banana pudding.  (As always, I tweaked it to suit me so this is my version:




Banana Pudding Supreme
8 oz light cream cheese
14 oz can of sweetened condensed milk
2 small packages of sugar free instant vanilla pudding
3 C cold milk
1 tsp vanilla 
8 oz light Cool Whip
Bananas
Nilla Wafers

In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy. Beat in condensed milk, pudding mix, cold milk and vanilla until smooth. Fold in 1/2 of the whipped topping.

Slice bananas (to save time, slice them lengthwise) and place in the bottom of a 9x13 pan.  Top with pudding.  Spread the rest of the Cool whip on top.  Place Nilla Wafers on last. 

Chill.

If there are leftovers, remove the wafers and replace before serving.  No one likes soggy wafers! :)


Happy Desserting!
