super easy peanut butter banana pudding

Ingredients

5-ounce pack instant vanilla pudding

2 cups whole milk

8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature

2/3 cup creamy peanut butter

8 ounces Cool Whip or other store-bought whipped topping

1 cup heavy cream

2 tablespoons powdered sugar

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 cup crumbled store-bought vanilla wafers

3 bananas, thinly sliced

Makes 6 individual puddings

1. Combine the pudding mix and milk in a mixing bowl and whisk until smooth. With an electric mixer in a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese with the peanut butter until smooth, then fold in the Cool Whip. In a third bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until the cream forms soft peaks.

2. Set six rocks glasses, lowball glasses, or mason jars on a countertop. Use one-third of the vanilla wafers to line the bottoms of the glasses or jars. Top with half of the peanut butter and cream cheese mixture, then half of the banana slices, followed by half of the vanilla pudding. Repeat the layers one more time, then top with whipped topping, the remaining banana slices. Sprinkle the remaining vanilla wafers over the tops. Store in your refrigerator until ready to serve.
