Banana Pudding Dip

Banana Pudding Dip
Ingredients
8 oz cream cheese, room temperature
1 large package instant pudding mix (banana flavored or vanilla)
1 cup milk
3 Tablespoons powdered sugar
1 container Cool Whip
1 large banana, diced
10 vanilla wafers, crushed

Directions

1. Whisk cream cheese until smooth.
2. Add pudding mix, milk, powdered sugar and 1/2 of the Cool Whip to the cream cheese and blend well.
3. Fold in the banana chunks.
4. Place entire mixture in a bowl and smooth it out.
5. Spread the remainder of the Cool Whip on top of the pudding mixture.
6. Sprinkle the vanilla wafer crumbs on top.
7. Let sit in refrigerator until ready to serve.

Notes
Use vanilla wafers as your dipping utensil.

You can omit the powdered sugar if you like the slightly tangier cream cheese/pudding mix.  I have to mask the cream cheese taste for a family member who would not eat it otherwise.
