Banana strawberry pudding

Ingredients:

1 box of vanilla wafers

6 to 8 bananas, sliced

2 cups of milk

1 (5 ounce) box of instant vanilla pudding

1 (8 ounce) package of cream cheese

1 (14 ounce) can of condensed milk

1 (12 ounce) container of frozen whipped topping thawed or an equal amount of sweetened whipped cream

Directions:

Line the bottom of your dish with about 1/3 of the wafers. Next layer the bananas and strawberries on top of wafers.

In a bowl, combine the milk and pudding mix and blend well using a hand mixer. Using another bowl, combine the cream cheese and condensed milk together and mix until smooth. Fold the whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture. Add the cream cheese mixture to the pudding mixture and mix until well blended. Pour the mixture over the wafers, bananas and strawberries and cover with remaining wafers. You can also use some smaller pieces to place on the top. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Makes 8- 10 servings.
