  • Fold the pudding into the cream cheese mixture.
  • Gently mix in the mashed banana.
  • Step 3: Assemble And Chill

Notes

  • Want a firmer crust? Bake at 325°F for 8-10 minutes, then cool before adding filling.
  • Make it extra banana-y? Add chopped banana slices between the layers.
  • Storage: Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
