How to Make Over The Top Banana Pudding

  1. In a large bowl, beat together 8 ounces of softened cream cheese, 1 (14-ounce) can of sweetened condensed milk, and 1 cup of sour cream until completely smooth and creamy. A stand mixer or hand mixer works best to prevent lumps.
  2. Gradually whisk in 1 (3.4-ounce) package of instant vanilla pudding mix and 2 cups of cold milk until the mixture thickens. Gently fold in 1 (8-ounce) container of whipped topping.
  3. Line the bottom of a 9x13 inch dish with a single layer of vanilla wafers.
  4. Top the wafers with half of the pudding mixture, followed by a layer of sliced bananas (about 3-4 ripe bananas).
  5. Repeat layers: wafers, pudding mixture, bananas.
  6. Finish with a final layer of vanilla wafers.
  7. Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
