    Banana Pudding Dip is a creamy, delicious dessert perfect for a crowd. Whipped pudding mixture topped with diced bananas and crushed cookies.

    This quick banana pudding dip is a favorite banana recipe around here along with Fried Bananas and Cinnamon Sugar Banana Donut Holes. It’s a dippable variation of classic Banana Pudding. 

    This fluffy, creamy no-bake dessert dip is something I make for holiday gatherings or summer BBQ’s. 

    Ingredients needed

    Instant Vanilla Pudding, Milk, Cool-Whip, Cream Cheese, Vanilla Extract. 

    Milk, cool whip, bananas, cream cheese, vanilla and powdered sugar

    How to make banana pudding dip

    Scroll to the bottom for a full, printable recipe and ingredient list. 

    Just a few simple ingredients are needed to make this crowd pleasing dip.

    • Whisk: Begin with whisking together instant vanilla pudding mix with cold milk in a small bowl. Whisk until fully combined. I use 2% milk for my dip, you could also use whole milk or even half and half for a richer flavor. 
    • Mix: Using an electric mixer, cream together cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla. Beat until creamy, about 3 minutes.

    • Fold: Fold in whipped topping to the mixture until combined.
    • Cool: Refrigerate until ready to serve.

    What to serve with banana pudding dip with cream cheese

    The classic dipper for this banana dessert would be Nilla wafers. I also love using shortbread cookies, ginger snaps, and fruit. 

    How do you keep bananas from turning brown?

    For this recipe I add the chopped bananas at the end for a garnish so I typically don’t worry about them turning brown.

    If you think you will have leftovers, you can toss the bananas in a tablespoon of lemon juice before adding them to help prevent browning.

    Recipe tips

    • Make sure your cream cheese is softened. This helps prevent lumpy dip. I typically will leave mine out on the counter for at least an hour but if you are in a hurry you can unwrap it and place on a microwave safe plate. Microwave for about 20 seconds to soften. 
    • If you would prefer more banana in this dip, gently fold in 1/2-1 cup diced bananas into the dip itself. 
    • This cream cheese dip will last about 3-4 days in the refrigerator. 

    More Tasty Dip Recipes

    • Fruit Dip: Sweet cream cheese dip, perfect for dipping fruit and cookies. 
    • Orange Fruit Dip: Delicious orange flavored dip, great for a spring or summer gathering. 
    • Shrimp Dip: Creamy, cheesy shrimp dip that tastes like shrimp alfredo. 
    • Hot Sausage and Beer Cheese Dip: One of the most popular recipes on this site. Cheesy dip with hot sausage and beer!
    • Bacon Spinach Dip: Always a favorite at parties, this dip has bacon, spinach and artichoke hearts.

      YUM! What a delicious and easy dessert. Sorry to say I didn’t use it as a dip – we put it into small dishes and ate it with a spoon. It was that good!
