This creamy and delicious banana pudding recipe, made famous by Paula Deen, is a classic Southern dessert. It’s a perfect treat for any occasion and is sure to satisfy your sweet tooth. The layers of creamy pudding, sweet bananas, and crunchy cookies create a heavenly combination that is hard to resist.

Ingredients:

• 1 (12-oz) container frozen whipped topping, thawed, or equal amount sweetened whipped cream
• 1 (14-oz) can sweetened condensed milk
• 1 (8-oz) package cream cheese, softened
• 2 cups milk
• 1 (5-oz) box instant French vanilla pudding mix
• 6 to 8 bananas, sliced
• 2 bags chessmen cookies

Instructions:

1. Prepare the pudding: In a large bowl, whisk together the milk and instant pudding mix until smooth and thickened. Set aside.
2. Combine cream cheese mixture: In a separate large bowl, beat together the cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk until light and fluffy. Fold in the whipped topping until combined.
3. Assemble the pudding: In a 9×13 inch baking dish, layer half of the cookies, followed by half of the banana slices. Pour half of the pudding mixture over the bananas. Repeat the layers with the remaining cookies, bananas, and pudding.
4. Chill: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until chilled.

Tips:

• For a richer flavor, use whole milk instead of low-fat milk.
• You can add a splash of vanilla extract to the pudding mixture for extra flavor.
• For a more decadent dessert, top the pudding with additional whipped cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce.
• If you don’t have chessmen cookies, you can use any other type of vanilla wafer or similar cookie.
