A quick and easy dessert featuring creamy banana pudding sandwiched between crisp vanilla wafer cookies, perfect for casual gatherings and nostalgic treats.

Ingredients

Scale
  • About 40 vanilla wafers
  • 3 to 4 medium ripe bananas, sliced thinly
  • 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 2 cups (480 ml) whole milk or 2% milk
  • 4 oz (115 g) cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup (60 g) powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (240 ml) whipped cream, homemade or store-bought

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pudding filling: In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding powder and 2 cups of cold milk until it thickens (about 2 minutes). Set aside to firm up slightly.
  2. Blend cream cheese and powdered sugar: Using an electric mixer or whisk, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Add vanilla extract and mix well.
  3. Combine mixtures: Fold the prepared pudding gently into the cream cheese mixture until well combined, being careful not to overmix.
  4. Fold in whipped cream: Gently fold in whipped cream to lighten the mixture.
  5. Slice bananas: Peel and slice bananas into thin rounds about ¼ inch thick.
  6. Assemble the sandwiches: Lay out 20 vanilla wafers. Spoon a generous tablespoon of pudding mixture on each wafer, top with banana slices, then press another wafer on top to form a sandwich.
  7. Chill before serving: Place assembled sandwiches on a tray or plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set the filling and soften wafers slightly.

Notes

Use softened cream cheese to avoid lumps. Fold whipped cream gently to keep airy texture. Slice bananas just before assembling to prevent browning or toss in lemon juice if prepping early. Chill sandwiches for at least 30 minutes to prevent soggy wafers. Store assembled sandwiches in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
