Ingredients

Scale

8 oz full-fat cream cheese
1 package instant vanilla pudding mix
2 cups whole milk
3 ripe bananas
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
4 tbsp melted butter
1 cup whipped topping

Instructions

In a bowl, whisk together the vanilla pudding mix and milk. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it thickens.
In another bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add in the thickened pudding mixture, mixing until well combined.
Peel and slice the ripe bananas into thin rounds. This will ensure even distribution in the parfaits.
In a separate bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until the crumbs are moistened. This will create the base layer for your parfaits.
In a clear glass or dessert cup, start by adding a layer of graham cracker crumbs. Follow this with a layer of the cheesecake mixture, then add a layer of banana slices. Repeat these layers until the cups are full, finishing with a layer of whipped topping on top.
Place the assembled parfaits in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the parfait to set.
Just before serving, you can add a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs or a few banana slices on top for an attractive finish.
