How to Make Chessman Banana Pudding

  • Layer Cookies: Start by layering the bottom of a 9 x 13” baking dish with a generous layer of Chessman cookies.
  • Add Bananas: Slice up 6-8 ripe bananas and place them evenly over the cookies.
  • Prepare Pudding: In a large bowl, beat the instant French vanilla pudding and milk together and wait for 2-3 minutes until it firms up.
  • Mix Cream Cheese: In a separate bowl, beat together the sweetened condensed milk and softened cream cheese until smooth, then fold this into the pudding mixture.
  • Fold in Whipped Cream: Carefully fold in the Cool Whip to add lightness and spread this mixture over the bananas.
  • Top with Cookies: Add another layer of Chessman cookies on top, cover the dish, and refrigerate.
  • Serve and Enjoy: Slice into the pudding and serve cold, optionally garnished with additional banana slices or crushed Chessman cookies.

Notes
