Strawberry Banana Pudding Dream
A delightful and creamy dessert combining layers of vanilla wafers, fresh bananas, strawberries, and rich pudding, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Pudding Base
- 1 box French vanilla pudding Check the expiration date, as stale pudding affects the final result.
- 2 cups whole milk Use whole milk for a richer texture.
- 1 package cream cheese Must be softened to room temperature for easy blending.
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk Adds smooth consistency and sweetness.
- 1 container whipped topping Opt for the 'not-too-sweet' kind.
Fruits and Layers
- 2 boxes vanilla wafers Classic touch for that crunchy layer.
- 6-8 pieces bananas, sliced Use ripe bananas for sweetness.
- 1 container strawberries Choose the biggest and ripest strawberries.
Instructions
Preparation
- Prep your ingredients by slicing the bananas and cleaning the strawberries.
Mixing
- In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk until smooth.
- Add French vanilla pudding and milk. Mix well until blended.
Layering
- In a large serving dish, create layers starting with vanilla wafers, followed by sliced bananas and strawberries.
- Pour half of the pudding mixture over the fruit layers and repeat the layers with the remaining ingredients.
Finishing Touch
- Top with whipped topping and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.
Notes
Do not use sugar-free pudding mixes; they can change the texture and flavor unexpectedly. This pudding is best enjoyed fresh but can be prepared a day in advance without the whipped topping.
