Equipment

  • mixing bowls
  • whisk
  • hand mixer

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3.4 ounce box INSTANT banana cream pudding mix
  • 1½ cups half and half cold
  • 8 ounces whipped topping thawed
  • 2 medium bananas divided, mostly diced and a few slices reserved for garnish
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 cup vanilla wafer crumbs divided

Instructions

  • Beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla in a medium mixing bowl with a hand mixer until smooth.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk the pudding mix and half and half until thickened.
  • Combine the pudding mixture with the cream cheese mixture until it is smooth. Scrape the bowl with a spatula and mix again.
  • Fold in the whipped topping until no streaks remain. Use a spatula to keep the dip fluffy. If you whip it with a hand mixer, it will lose its consistency.
  • Toss the diced bananas with the lemon juice in a small bowl. Fold the bananas and half of the vanilla wafer crumbs into the dip. Reserve a few banana slices for serving.
  • Stir the dip in the mixing bowl. Cover and chill until thickened. To serve, spoon it into a serving dish, sprinkle with leftover vanilla wafer crumbs and garnish with banana slices.

Notes

TROUBLESHOOTING
  • Mixture is too loose: Make sure the pudding mix is instant pudding. The dip also needs chill time sothe pudding and cream cheese can firm up together.
  • Too many cream cheese lumps: The cream cheese was probably too cold. Let it soften fully before mixing.
  • Tastes less sweet than expected: This version uses a smaller amount of powdered sugar so the banana pudding flavor isn’t overly sweet. Add a little extra powdered sugar to the cream cheese mixture if you want a sweeter dessert dip.
  • Bananas are turning brown: Toss the diced bananas with lemon juice and wait to add the reserved banana slices until serving.
