I made this as one of our Thanksgiving desserts and everyone LOVED it! It tastes just as good as my moms banana pudding from scratch! I can't wait to make it again for Christmas!

I traditionally do not like banana pudding, but this was delicious! It was gone in minutes (at a large 4th of July BBQ) and I was asked numerous times for the recipe! I'm making it again tonight for a birthday party!

Everybody love this recipe I make it in a deep dish pan or sheet cake pan and the bottom cook crust with and aditional layer of whole vanilla wafers under the cream cheese topping has everybody talking more, more, more and smacking their lips!

I have not made this recipe yet, but my niece made it, and it was the best banana pudding I have ever eaten! I am going to make it today for a party tomorrow.

Best banana pudding I've ever made! My family thought it was amazing. DO NOT leave out the cinnamon, the flavor is what makes it better than regular pudding.
