  • 2 containers (8 ounces each) frozen whipped topping, thawed (Cool Whip, thawed)

  • 2 cups milk (2% or whole)
  • 3 to 4 large bananas, sliced

We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Mix together the crushed cookies and melted butter. Press into a 9x13" baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. Let cool.

  • Step 2: Beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and 1 container of Cool Whip. Spread on top of cooled cookie crust.

  • Step 3: Beat together the banana cream pudding with milk. Let stand for about 4-5 minutes until it has thickened. Spread on top of cream cheese layer.

  • Step 4: Spread sliced bananas on top of pudding, covering the entire pan.

  • Step 5: Spread the last container of Cool Whip on top of the bananas. Let set in the fridge for at least 2 hours before serving.

  • Step 6: Top with caramel sauce, sliced bananas and crushed cookies as a garnish (this is optional but I do say to go with it, it makes it look and taste better!).
