I love banana pudding! I have made this before, but not with cream cheese. Can’t wait to give it a try.
Thanks, Corinne! It’s truly scrumptious!
Yum! This takes me back to the banana pudding my grandmother used to make. This looks simply delicious and has given me a serious craving. I may just have to make a run to the store for ingredients!
Thanks, Cait! It’s worth it, I promise!

This is a new version for me. I will try it out soon. Looks good.
It’s delicious! I’ve made it several times. I know you’ll love it!
This was amazing! I made it for 4th of July and people ate it up. I plan on making it again tomorrow for our youth group. Thanks so much!
Thanks so much for the sweet comment, Jodi! We love it, too! I’m glad it was a success for you!
I got all the ingredients to make this. Looks so yummy😋do you think I could make the pudding part a day ahead and then assemble next day?
Bonnie, you are going to love it! The pudding sets up pretty quickly. If it were me I would really try to make it all in one setting. You can certainly try it though, just know the pudding portion might be pretty thick…if you give it a go, let us know how it turns out!
Just made this. Can’t wait to try it.
You’re going to love it!
My son in law loves anything banana so I am surprising him with this banana pudding for Thanksgiving. I am sure he will not want to share with the rest of us…. but we shall prevail!
I love this! I hope he enjoys it! I’m pretty confident he will;-) Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
