Not yo mama's banana pudding.

Our friend Rori surprised us with this delicious treat shortly after our daughter was born.  It is cool, smooth and just the right amount of fluffy with a bit of cookie crumble.  I asked for the recipe so we could enjoy it again.  It is almost sinfully simple to make.

We indulged a little this 4th of July at home.

Here is what you'll need:
1 pkg cream cheese
1 container Cool Whip
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 large box vanilla pudding mix
4 bananas sliced
2 bags Pepperidge Farm Chessmen cookies

 1. Prepare pudding mix as directed on package.
2. In a separate bowl, with electric mixer:
       - whip cream cheese
       - add condensed milk
       - mix in pudding
       - fold in Cool Whip
3. In dish layer as follows:
Cookies
Pudding
Bananas
Pudding
Cookies
Reapeat

Chill & enjoy!
We may or may not have had seconds. wink.

P.S. This treat is not short on calories.  I'm already thinking of ways to slim it down, so we an enjoy it more than once a year.
