- Banana Cream Pudding

How To Make Banana Cream Pie Dip
To make this Banana Cream Pie Dip recipe, I use a handheld electric mixer because I feel it speeds up the process. Of course, you can use a whisk if you wish.
- First, mix the pudding with the Half & Half. You can use whole milk as well, although the final result may not be as rich and creamy. The mixture will look as if it is setting right before your eyes. That is expected.
- Then beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Room temperature cream cheese is key for quick and creamy results.
- Next, whisk in the whip topping. I like to add it in two batches, making sure the first batch is completely incorporated before I add the remaining whip topping.
- Lastly, mix the pudding mixture with the cream cheese mixture. It will look fluffy and creamy. This is the time when you will have to show some restraint and stop yourself from eating it!
- Top the creamy dip with sliced bananas and crushed Nilla wafers.
