Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 12 ounce box Nilla Wafer Cookies finely crushed
  • ½ cup butter melted
  • 1 8 ounce package cream cheese
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 8 ounce containers Cool Whip divided
  • 1 5.1 ounce box banana cream instant pudding mix
  • 2 cups milk
  • 4 bananas sliced
  • ½ cup caramel topping

Instructions

  • Mix together the crushed cookies and melted butter. Press into a 9 x 13 inch baking pan. *Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. Let cool.
  • Beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and one container of Cool Whip. Spread on top of cooled cookie crust.
  • Beat together the banana cream pudding with milk. Let stand for about 4-5 minutes until it has thickened. Spread on top of cream cheese layer.
  • Spread sliced bananas on top of pudding, covering the entire pan.
  • Spread the last container of Cool Whip on top of the bananas. Let set in the fridge for at least 2 hours before serving.
  • Top with caramel sauce and any additional sliced bananas for each serving.

Notes

*You really could skip this step in a pinch. The crust won’t hold together as well, but it will still taste the same.
