The Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make Banana Pudding Dip (the exact measurements and full recipe instructions are below in the easy to print recipe card):

Instant banana cream pudding – you can use vanilla pudding instead, but the banana pudding is really what gives this dip the banana flavor.
Half and half – if you prefer, use milk instead of half and half. The dip will be less rich creamy, but a little lower in calories.
Cream cheese – use regular block cream cheese and soften it to room temperature before using so it will blend well into the dip.
Vanilla extract – this ingredient just adds a nice extra flavor that highlights the banana.
Powdered sugar – be sure to use powdered sugar and not granulated sugar.
Cool Whip – or use any store brand you like. Thaw the Cool Whip before you make the dip.
Banana slices for garnish – because bananas brown quickly, adding the bananas to the top should be the last step right before serving the dip.
Nilla Wafers for dipping – we used mini Nilla Wafers because the regular were sold out at the grocery store, but any size should work well for dipping.

Variations

Pudding – the banana pudding gives the dip the banana flavor, but you can make this with vanilla pudding or other flavors that you like, such as cheesecake pudding.

Berries – for a colorful twist, try adding freshly slices strawberries (or a mix of berries) to the top of the dip.

Graham crackers – if you don’t have Nilla Wafers, graham crackers are a great match for this dip.

How to Store Leftover Banana Pudding Dip

Keep the leftover banana cream pie dip in an airtight food storage container. Refrigerate for up to five days.

Note: The fresh bananas will turn brown and any Nilla Wafers will become very mushy, so remove these from the dip before refrigerating and add fresh before serving again.
