 ingredients:

• 2 cups cold milk

• 1 (5 oz) box instant vanilla pudding

• 1 (8 oz) block cream cheese, softened

• 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 1 (8 oz) tub whipped topping (or 2 cups homemade whipped cream)

• 3–4 bananas, sliced

• 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced

• 1 box vanilla wafers or shortbread cookies

• Optional: extra strawberries or crushed cookies for topping

🥣 directions:

make the creamy base

In a bowl, whisk cold milk and instant pudding until thickened.

In another bowl, beat cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla until smooth and fluffy.

Fold the pudding into the cream cheese mixture.

Fold in half the whipped topping until silky.

assemble the layers

In a trifle dish or deep bowl, start with a layer of cookies.

Top with banana slices, then strawberries, then a generous layer of creamy pudding mixture.

repeat

Keep layering cookies → fruit → cream until your dish is full.

top it off

Spread the remaining whipped topping over the top.

Add extra strawberries or crushed cookies if you want it extra cute.

chill

Refrigerate for at least 2–4 hours so the cookies soften into cake-like perfection.

serve

Scoop big, dreamy spoonfuls and watch it disappear fast.

💡 tips:

• Dip bananas lightly in lemon juice to keep them from browning

• Add strawberry jam between layers for extra flavor

• Use Chessmen cookies for a richer, buttery bite

• Best eaten within 2 days (it never lasts that long anyway!)
