Instructions
- Prepare Whipped Cream: Whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form; set aside.
- Make Cream Mixture: Beat cream cheese until smooth, then mix in sweetened condensed milk. In a separate bowl, whisk whole milk and banana pudding mix until thickened. Fold pudding mixture into cream cheese, then gently fold in half of the whipped cream.
