Prepare the ingredients: 4 to 6 bananas, 2 packages of vanilla pudding, 2 cups of whole milk, 8 ounces of cream cheese, 1 can of sweetened condensed milk, 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract, and 10 ounces of whipped topping.

Fill the bottom of a container with cookies.

In a bowl, mix 2 cups of whole milk with the vanilla pudding and set aside.

In another bowl, combine 8 ounces of cream cheese and 1 can of sweetened condensed milk, ensuring there are no lumps by using room temperature ingredients.

Add the bananas to the cream cheese mixture, using 6 to 7 bananas as needed.

Fold in the pudding mixture into the cream cheese and banana mixture until combined.

Add 10 ounces of whipped topping and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the mixture and mix well.

Due to a shortage of cookies, use crushed cookies to fill the top layer instead of whole cookies.

Crumble the remaining cookies to create a topping and add it to the dessert.

Refrigerate the banana pudding for 4 hours before serving.
