Gather and prep all ingredients.
In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese until fluffy. Add sweetened condensed milk, instant pudding mix, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until combined and slightly thickened.
Gently fold in half of the whipped topping.
Layer one-third of Nilla wafers at the bottom of your dish.
Arrange one-third of sliced bananas over the wafers.
Pour one-third of the pudding mixture over the bananas, spreading gently.
Repeat layers two more times, finishing with the pudding layer on top.
Top with the remaining whipped topping.
Chill for 1-2 hours before serving, adding garnish as desired.

Use firm, ripe bananas for best texture. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
