Recipe slightly adapted from Paula Deen’s Not Yo Mamas Banana Pudding Recipe
-
Use an electric mixer to get smooth pudding results. Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature!
-
For best results, allow the banana pudding to chill for at least 4 hours, overnight is best!
-
Store banana pudding covered with plastic wrap in the refrigerator.
