Nilla Wafer Banana Pudding Cups

🍽️ Instructions

1. In a large bowl, whisk the vanilla pudding mix with the cold milk for about 2 minutes until it begins to thicken. Set aside for 5 minutes.
2. In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
3. Add the sweetened condensed milk and beat until fully combined.
4. Fold the prepared pudding into the cream cheese mixture until smooth.
5. Gently fold in the Cool Whip until light and fluffy.
6. Place a few Nilla Wafers in the bottom of each dessert cup.
7. Add a layer of the pudding mixture, followed by a layer of sliced bananas.
8. Repeat the layers until the cups are full, finishing with pudding on top.
9. Sprinkle crushed Nilla Wafers over each cup and garnish with a whole Nilla Wafer or banana slice if desired.
10. Refrigerate for at least 2–4 hours before serving so the flavors meld and the wafers soften slightly.

💛 Tip: For the freshest flavor and appearance, add the banana slices just before assembling and serve within 24 hours. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
