Ingredients:
- 8 oz (225g) Cream Cheese, softened to room temperature
- 14 oz (396g) Sweetened Condensed Milk
- 5 oz (142g) Instant French Vanilla Pudding Mix
- 2 cups (475ml) Cold Whole Milk
- 12 oz (340g) Frozen Whipped Topping, thawed
- 7 Firm-Ripe Bananas, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
- 14 oz Pepperidge Farm Chessmen Cookies
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk until the mixture is completely smooth and free of lumps.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the cold milk and the instant French vanilla pudding mix for 2 minutes until it begins to thicken.
- Combine the two mixtures. Fold the pudding into the cream cheese base until the color is uniform and pale gold.
- Gently fold in half of the whipped topping (or whipped cream) to aerate the dense base into a mousse-like texture.
- Line the bottom of a 9x13 inch glass baking dish with a single layer of Chessmen cookies.
- Layer half of the sliced bananas over the cookies, followed by half of the pudding mixture. Repeat layers and top with the remaining whipped topping and cookies.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours to allow the cookies to soften and the custard to set.
