Scale
For the Pudding:
- 5.1 ounce box instant banana cream pudding mix
- 1 3/4 cups cold milk
For the Fluff:
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 8 ounces frozen whipped topping, thawed (Cool Whip)
- 3-4 medium bananas, sliced
- 3 cups mini vanilla wafers or vanilla wafer crumbles
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Making the Pudding: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the instant banana cream pudding mix and cold milk. Blend with an electric hand mixer until slightly thickened.
- Preparing the Fluff: In a separate large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the pudding mixture and blend together. Gently fold in the whipped topping, followed by the bananas, vanilla wafers, and marshmallows until fully coated.
- Serving: For a crunchy texture, serve immediately with extra banana slices and vanilla wafers. For a softer consistency, refrigerate the fluff for 30 minutes before garnishing and serving.
Notes
- Use ripe bananas for the best flavor and texture.
- For a lighter option, reduce the cream cheese and increase the whipped topping.
- Experiment with different cookie types like shortbread or graham crackers.
- Enjoy the fluff the same day for optimal freshness.
