Recently, a friend of mine asked me if I had a good recipe for banana cr\u00e8me pudding.
\nAfter a little bit of work, taking a recipe I had and modifying it slightly, I came up with the recipe below. I thought it was delicious, but it wouldn\u2019t be good enough until I had others taste it and give their approval.
\nMy two taste testers, my sons Ryan and Landon, both loved the new recipe. After my sons approved, I wanted to see what my parents thought. My mom, of course, is a great cook who taught me a few things along the way. Her approval was a must. Mom and Dad gave it a try and it was two thumbs up! Give it a try and enjoy.<\/p>\n

Banana Cr\u00e8me Pudding<\/strong>
\nPrep Time: 30 minutes
\nReady in: 3 \u00bd hrs
\nServings: 12<\/p>\n

Ingredients:
\n8 oz. package of cream cheese (at room temperature)
\n14 oz. can of sweetened condensed milk
\n3.4 oz. package of banana cr\u00e8me pudding
\n3.4 oz. package of French vanilla pudding
\n3 cups cold milk
\n1 tsp vanilla extract
\n8 oz. container of frozen extra creamy whipping topping (thawed)
\n4 bananas-sliced
\n\u00bd package (12 oz.) vanilla wafers
\n2 tbs lemon juice<\/p>\n

Directions:
\n1. In a large bowl, using a hand mixer, beat the room temperature cream cheese until fluffy. Continue to beat in the condensed milk, 2 pudding mixes, cold milk and vanilla extract until smooth. Using a spatula, fold in half the container of whipped topping.
\n2. Add 2 tbs of lemon juice to your sliced bananas immediately after cutting to help keep them from browning.
\n3. Line the bottom of 9\u201d x 13\u201d or similar size dish with the vanilla wafers. Layer the banana slices on top and then cover with the pudding mixture, spreading it out evenly and then cover with the remaining whipped topping. You can also use a smaller dish and make the pudding multiple layers instead of just one layer. Just add another layer of wafers, bananas and pudding before topping with the remaining whipped topping. You can also crush some vanilla wafers and sprinkle over the top. Chill for 3 hrs. before serving for best results.
