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.

Slowly add in pudding mixture and mix until creamy.

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.
