Brian's Banana Pudding

My oldest son, Brian, loves banana pudding.  This is his favorite recipe that his wife, Brandi, makes for him.  I promised her that I would name the pudding after Brian, so here is Brian's Banana Pudding.

Brian's Banana Pudding

1 (8 oz) package cream cheese
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
1 (5 oz) package instant vanilla pudding
3 cups cold milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (8 oz) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
4 bananas, sliced
1/2 (12 oz) package vanilla wafers

In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy.  Beat in condensed milk, pudding mix, cold milk and vanilla until smooth.  Fold in 1/2 of the whipped topping.

Line the bottom of a 9 x 13 inch dish with vanilla wafers. (Save a few vanilla wafers for topping.) 

Arrange sliced bananas evenly over wafers.  Spread with pudding mixture.  Top with remaining whipped topping.  Sprinkle a few crushed vanilla wafers on top.  Chill.
