Ingredients
● 1 package gluten-free ladyfingers
● 5.1 oz instant banana pudding mix
● 16 oz cream cheese, room temperature
● 16 oz milk
● 1 banana, sliced
● 4 tbsp caramel sauce
1: Prepare the cream mixture: In a mixing bowl beat the cream cheese until completely smooth and creamy. Add the banana pudding mix and milk, then mix until the mixture becomes thick and velvety.
2: Start the first layer: Arrange a layer of ladyfingers on the bottom of a 10×7 baking dish that is at least 2 inches deep.
3: Add cream layer: Spread half of the banana pudding cream evenly over the ladyfingers.
4: Add caramel: Drizzle half of the caramel sauce over the cream layer.
5: Build the second layer: Add another layer of ladyfingers and spread the remaining cream mixture evenly on top.
6: Chill the dessert: Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours so the layers set nicely.
7: Finish before serving: Drizzle the remaining caramel sauce over the top and garnish with fresh banana slices.
8: Slice and serve: Cut into portions and enjoy this creamy layered dessert.
● Use thicker dairy-free milk (like Ripple or oat barista milk) if making it dairy-free.
● Chilling overnight makes the texture even richer and more cake-like.
● Add crushed vanilla wafers on top for extra crunch.
