Method
 

  1. Whisk pudding mix and cold milk until smooth and thickened slightly.
  2. Beat cream cheese, condensed milk, and vanilla until silky.
  3. Combine pudding mixture with cream cheese mixture until smooth.
  4. Whip heavy cream to soft peaks, then fold in gently for extra creaminess.

Notes

For softer texture, chill overnight. For crisper wafers, serve after 2 hours. Freeze 15 minutes before serving for cleaner scoops. Spread layers gently to keep bananas intact. Customize with caramel, toasted nuts, cinnamon, or chocolate shavings. Store covered in refrigerator up to 2 days.
