Baddie Holiday Favorites: Bridget’s Banana Pudding

This banana pudding recipe is a go-to holiday dessert because it is a fresh take on my favorite childhood dessert. It brings back so many memories. The chessman cookies gives it a lasting and desirable crunch that you just cannot get enough of, instead of the usual vanilla wafers that are used.

Serves 6-8

INGREDIENTS

1 (12-oz) Cool Whip, thawed
1 (8-oz) package of Philadelphia Cream Cheese, softened
2 cups milk (for pudding mix)
1 (5-oz) French Vanilla or Banana Jell-O Pudding Mix (prepared on
6 to 8 bananas, sliced
2 packages of Pepperidge Farm Chessmen Cookies
2 packages of Pepperidge Farm Chessmen Minis (optional for garnish)

DIRECTIONS

Line the bottom of a 9×13 inch dish with cookies and layer bananas on top. Alternate layering cookies and bananas until you reach the top of the dish. Make sure to finish with a cookie layer. Set aside to prepare the topping mixture.

Prepare the pudding mix according to the directions on the box.

Using another bowl, combine the cream cheese and whipped topping using an electric mixer to smooth out the cream cheese mixture.

Add the cream cheese mixture to the pudding mixture and stir until well blended.

Pour the mixture over the cookies and bananas and garnish with the Chessman Minis if you desire. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
