Joanna Gaines Banana Pudding Recipe

This sweet treat combines cream cheese, condensed milk, vanilla pudding, whipped cream, vanilla wafers, and fresh bananas for a deliciously rich flavor.
One valuable tip is to chill the pudding for at least an hour, or ideally overnight, to allow the flavors to meld together for the best taste.
I love this recipe because it’s simple to put together yet offers a satisfyingly creamy and smooth texture that everyone will enjoy.
