The Best Banana Pudding
You know when you come across something that completely and pleasantly surprises you? That’s what this banana pudding did for me! This recipe is genius. It reminds me of a Napoleon type dessert. It’s so good, words don’t do it justice. What I can tell you though, is that this pudding is right up there with sex in a Pan, my favorite pudding dessert! This is Paula Dean’s recipe, I love this woman. She’s insane, but who isn’t? Most recipes I make from her are top notch, and this pudding surely did not disappoint!

Ingredient Notes
Chessman Cookies – Since I’m in Canada, I don’t usually see these in the stores, but I was able to easily find them on amazon. Bananas – You’ll want about 4 ripe bananas, sliced. Milk – Any type will do! Dairy or non dairy. I usually use less milk than what’s on the pudding box instructions, because I like a firmer pudding, but feel free to follow the instructions on the box completely. Pudding – You can either use a box of instant vanilla pudding, or make your own using my homemade vanilla pudding recipe. Cream Cheese – I prefer to use full fat for my cream cheese. Just make sure your cream cheese is softened and at room temperature. Sweetened Condensed Milk – This is going to add a nice hint of sweetness and make our banana pudding extra creamy. Whipped Cream/Cool Whip: You can either use a couple cups of whipped topping thawed, or equal amount sweetened whipped cream!
