Southern Style Banana Pudding

In a large mixing bowl mix 8 ounces of room temperature cream cheese with an electric mixer. Next add in two 3.4-ounce boxes of French vanilla instant pudding, one 14 ounce can of sweetened condensed milk and 2 1/4 cups of regular milk. Mix until smooth.

Gently fold in 2-3 ounces of Cool Whip, reserving the rest for the top.

Slice bananas just before using them so they don't turn brown. In a trifle dish start the layers. 1st layer Nilla Wafers on the bottom of the dish. 2nd layer is slices of bananas (banana coins) on top of the cookies.

3rd layer is a layer of pudding. 4th layer is Nilla Wafers standing up around the outside of the dish and lying flat in the middle.

5th layer is a layer of banana coins on top of the cookies. 6th layer is a layer of pudding.

7th layer is bananas standing up around the outside of the dish with Nilla Wafers in the middle.

8th layer is all of the remaining pudding.

9th layer is the remaining Cool whip.

10th layer is broken up Nilla Wafers for topping garnish. Cover banana pudding with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1-2 hours until set.

Dish up a generous amount of chilled banana pudding.

Enjoy!
