You're going to have to trust me until you try it, but this is the best banana pudding recipe!  The combination of sweetened condensed milk, cream cheese, Nilla wafers and a couple of special ingredients make this, hands-down, my all-time favorite banana pudding recipe.

A while back I posted my mom's famous Banana Pudding Recipe.  Well, I decided to tinker with it and came up with an out-of-this-world banana pudding recipe.  Usually, I don't mess around with something that's already outstanding, but I did and I can't wait for you to try it!

If you take this Banana Pudding to your church fellowship, potluck or friend's house, they'll be begging you for the recipe - it's THAT good!

Why banana liqueur in banana pudding?

Banana liquer is the special ingredient in this recipe that adds a boost of flavor that everyone will love.  Don't worry, noone will get tipsy on this small amount. It's just like adding vanilla extract. If you're opposed to using banana liquer you can use a banana flavored syrup like Davinci Banana Syrup.

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, beat pudding mix, sweetened condensed milk and regular milk and continue beating until smooth and well combined.
  • Beat in vanilla bean paste, banana liqueur, 1 thawed Cool Whip and sour cream.
  • Fold in bananas and 1 ½ boxes of cookies.
  • Pour into a large serving bowl, top with other container of cool whip and garnish with additional cookies.

Notes

I like to make this the day before and let it chill in the refrigerator overnight. The flavors taste much better and the cookies soften and become cake-like.

    I am concerned using banana liquor for there will be children possibly eating this. Where would I find banana liquor? If using banana extract does it overwhelm the taste like some extracts do? Thank you for such amazing recipes. Trying several!!

      The amount of banana liquor is minimal, just like an extract. Most pure extracts are made with alcohol. If you're concerned, you can just omit it.
