1 pkg. instant vanilla pudding
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
8 oz. Cool Whip
2-3 med. bananas
Vanilla wafers

Prepare pudding according to package directions. To reduce calories/fat, sugar free pudding can be used and prepared with skim milk without sacrificing taste.

Divide prepared pudding in half. Set aside one portion. Beat softened cream cheese into remaining half until smooth and creamy. Add half of the Cool Whip and mix well.

Line a 2 quart bowl or other serving dish with vanilla wafers. Add a layer of sliced bananas. Pour pudding, cream cheese and Cool Whip mixture over bananas. Add another layer of sliced bananas. Pour plain pudding over second banana layer. Top with remaining Cool Whip. Serve chilled. Makes approximately 8 servings.
