Line the bottom of a 9x13 with Nilla Wafers.  {The original recipe called for Pepperidge Farm Chessmen cookies.  It tasted really good with the Chessmen cookies, I just prefer the Nilla Wafers :)}Slice your bananas and layer evenly on top of the wafers.  The original recipe called for 6-8 bananas and when I first made it, I think I used about that much.  I personally don’t like A TON of bananas in my banana pudding {I know, weird}.  I think four is the magic number…not too many, not too few.  Just PERFECT :)

Combine the milk and pudding mix and blend using a handheld mixer.  I’ve found that using the two small boxes & the 3 cups of milk makes an awesome consistency for the pudding.  It sets just PERFECTLY!

In a separate bowl, mix together cream cheese & condensed milk until smooth.  Gradually fold in whipped cream.

Add the cream cheese mixture to the pudding mix & stir until well bLayer the remaining Nilla Wafers on top of the mix to top it all off!!!lended.
