Strawberry Banana Pudding Dream

 Ingredients

Cream Layer:

• 225 g (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pudding Layer:

• 1 package (3.4 oz / ~100 g) instant vanilla pudding mix
• 2 cups cold milk

Fruit & Layers:

• 2–3 bananas, sliced
• 1 ½ cups fresh strawberries, sliced
• 1 box vanilla wafers (or tea biscuits)

Topping:

• 1 ½ cups whipped cream (or whipped topping)
• Extra strawberries for garnish

 Instructions

1. Make the Cream Mixture
   In a bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and mix until creamy and fluffy.
2. Prepare the Pudding
   In another bowl, whisk the pudding mix with cold milk until it thickens (about 2–3 minutes).
3. Combine Layers
   Gently fold the pudding into the cream cheese mixture until well combined and smooth.
4. Assemble the Dessert
   In a dish or trifle bowl:
   • Add a layer of vanilla wafers
   • Add sliced bananas and strawberries
   • Spread a layer of the pudding mixture
   • Repeat layers until everything is used
5. Top It Off
   Spread whipped cream on top and decorate with extra strawberries.
6. Chill
   Refrigerate for at least 2–4 hours (overnight is even better) to let the flavors blend.

 Tips

• Add a drizzle of strawberry syrup for extra flavor
• Use ripe (but firm) bananas to avoid mushiness
• A glass dish makes it look beautiful with layers
