Banana Pudding Dip Ingredients
- 1 (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1 (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 (8 oz) frozen whipped topping, thawed
- 1 banana, diced
- 1/4 cup crushed Nilla wafers
Instructions
- Prepare pudding mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and milk until the mixture begins to thicken. Set aside to allow it to set for a few minutes.
- Beat cream cheese mixture: Using an electric mixer, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy, about 3 minutes.
- Combine with pudding: Slowly pour the prepared pudding mixture into the cream cheese mixture while continuing to mix until fully combined and creamy.
- Fold in whipped topping: Gently fold the thawed whipped topping into the pudding and cream cheese mixture until incorporated, maintaining a light and fluffy texture.
- Add toppings and serve: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and sprinkle the diced banana and crushed Nilla wafers on top. Serve immediately with graham crackers, fruit, or wafers for dipping.
Notes
- Use softened cream cheese to ensure a smooth dip without lumps.
- For best results, chill the dip for 30 minutes before serving, allowing flavors to meld.
- Fresh bananas can brown quickly; add just before serving to maintain freshness.
- This dip can be made a few hours ahead and stored in the refrigerator covered with plastic wrap.
- Substitute crushed vanilla wafers with graham cracker crumbs or digestive biscuits if preferred.
