2. Make the Cream Cheese Filling
In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. Add the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract, beating until fully combined and silky. Fold the prepared vanilla pudding into the cream cheese mixture. Set aside.
3. Whip the Cream
In a chilled bowl, beat the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form. Reserve half for topping the dessert, and fold the other half gently into the pudding mixture for added lightness.
4. Assemble the Layers
A base of Nilla Wafers
A layer of banana slices
A generous layer of the pudding-cream cheese mixture
Repeat these layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of whipped cream on top. Garnish with crushed Nilla Wafers and extra banana slices if desired.
5. Chill and Serve
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to firm up. Serve chilled with a big spoon and a smile.
