You can keep bananas from turning brown by tossing them with a little lemon juice before adding them to the dip. If you plan on eating the dip the same day, you don’t need add the lemon juice.

Heather’s recipe tips

• Soften the cream cheese. This helps to prevent the dip from being lumpy. I typically will leave mine out on the counter for at least an hour before making.
• Use instant pudding. You want to make sure to use instant pudding, not the cook and serve.
• Beat the cream cheese until creamy. Make sure to use an electric mixer to beat the cream cheese until it’s light and fluff.
• Adjust the banana. If you don’t like banana, you can leave it off. If you want more bananas, you can dice them and fold them into the dip.

Storage

Store: Keep any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. After that the bananas will become mushy.

Freezing: I don’t recommend freezing this dip. It does not hold up well.
