Ingredients

2 1/4 cups cold heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup powdered sugar
8 ounce package cream cheese , softened
14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
3.4 ounce box of Jello instant French vanilla pudding mix (or regular vanilla)
2 cups cold whole milk
11 ounce box Nilla wafer cookies (you'll need about 60 cookies)
4-5 ripe, firm bananas , sliced into rounds

Instructions

Make the Whipped Cream: In a cold bowl, beat together the whipping cream and powdered sugar with an electric mixer until stiff peaks are reached. Transfer to the fridge while you make the pudding.
Make the Pudding: Using a large bowl and a handheld electric mixer or stand mixer, beat together the cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk until combined and smooth. Add in the pudding mix and cold milk; beat for another 5 minutes or so until incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl, as necessary. Gently fold in 1/2 of the chilled whipped cream (reserve and chill the rest for finishing.)
Transfer pudding mixture to a piping bag.
Assemble the Layers: Line the bottom of 12 parfait glasses with 2-3 Nilla wafer cookies, followed by 3-4 banana slices. Pipe some of the pudding mixture on top. Repeat layers until you reach almost to the rim of the glass (ending with the pudding.)
Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight, so the cookies can soften.
Pipe the remaining whipped cream on top and garnish with 1 banana slice and 1 wafer cookie.
Serve and enjoy!
