Ingredients
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
3.4 ounces instant banana cream pudding mix
1/2 cup cold milk
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
Instructions
1. Beat the softened cream cheese in a large mixing bowl until completely smooth and creamy.
2. Add the instant banana cream pudding mix, cold milk, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract, then beat until smooth and slightly thickened.
3. Let the pudding mixture rest for 2 to 3 minutes so it can begin to set.
4. In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until medium to stiff peaks form.
5. Gently fold the whipped cream into the banana pudding mixture in two or three additions until fully combined and fluffy.
6. Chill the frosting for 15 to 20 minutes if you want a firmer texture for piping.
7. Spread or pipe onto fully cooled cupcakes, cakes, or bars, then serve chilled or lightly chilled.
Notes
Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened so the frosting stays smooth without lumps.
Use very cold heavy cream and a chilled bowl for the fluffiest whipped texture.
Add crushed vanilla wafers only right before serving so they stay crisp.
