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.

• Slowly add in pudding mixture and mix until creamy.
• 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.
