Dessert dips are one of my favorite “appetizer desserts” if you could say that, they are just fun and everyone seems to love them.

CAN I MAKE THIS AHEAD OF TIME?
Absolutely, this is great to make a few hours or up to 24 hours ahead of time. Just mix everything together and refrigerate.
Make sure you do not top with the garnishes until you are ready to serve as the bananas will brown and the vanilla wafers will get soggy.
CAN I TOP THIS WITH ANYTHING ELSE?
Yes! If you want to make it more like banana pudding, you can spread a layer of whipped topping over the top.
You can also top with a drizzle of caramel, some coconut, mini chocolate chips, chocolate shavings, etc.
DOES THIS NEED TO CHILL?
This can be served right away, but if you want it a little thicker than I would at least chill it for 1 hour before serving.
HOW TO STORE:
This can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container where it will keep for up to 4-5 days.
We have not attempted to freeze this dip so I do not know how it would turn out.
TIPS AND TRICKS:
- Make sure you are using instant pudding and not cook and serve.
- Your cream cheese needs to be softened.
- Other things can be added to the top of this dip, see above for ideas.
- We have not tried to freeze this recipe so we do not know how it would hold up.
