Tastē Tuesday~ There is a back story for why I made banana pudding, but alas there is no time to write it tonight. Let's just say...there will be more banana recipes in the near future. For now, I will keep it short and sweet, kind of like this recipe, super quick to make and totally delicious! I made this Sunday afternoon for the hubby to take into the office on Monday. When I tasted it Sunday night, because I thought we might need our own batch at home as well, I thought it was a keeper. That was confirmed when he returned home Monday afternoon with rave reviews and no leftovers. I adapted the recipe from Paula Dean, lightening it up a bit so I didn't feel too guilty when I consumed a quarter of the pan.
I hope everyone's week has gotten off to a wonderful start and that the merry and bright are shining over your holiday season!

Bodacious Banana Pudding
Ingredients
1 (12 oz) box reduced fat Nilla wafers
6 to 8 bananas, sliced
2 cups skim milk
1 (5-ounce) box instant vanilla pudding
1 (8-ounce) package 1/3 less-fat cream cheese, softened
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 (12-ounce) container frozen whipped topping thawed
Directions
Line the bottom of a 13 by 9 by 2-inch dish with 1/2 box of cookies and layer bananas on top.
In a large bowl (because to will splatter!), combine the milk and pudding mix and blend well using a handheld electric mixer (follow package directions for approximate time; usually about 2 minutes). Using another bowl, combine the cream cheese and condensed milk together, mixing until smooth. Fold the whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture. Add the pudding to the cream cheese mixture and stir until well blended. Pour the mixture over the cookies and bananas and cover with the remaining cookies. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
