Ingredients

Cook ModePrevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Oreo Crust

• In a blender or food processor, finely crush 20 of the Oreo cookies.
• Put the butter into a medium microwavable bowl, and place into the microwave for 30 seconds or until completely melted.
• Add the cookies to the butter and mix until well moistened. Press into an ungreased 8 X 8-inch baking dish.
• Place into the freezer to chill for at least 30 minutes.

Banana Pudding

• Mix the package of pudding with the 1 1/2 cups of milk in a small bowl.

Banana Cheesecake Layer

• Mash one of the bananas.
• In a mixing bowl, cream the mashed banana and cream cheese. Add in the confectioners’ sugar, and vanilla and mix thoroughly.
• Fold in 1 cup of the Cool Whip or stabilized whipped cream, and mix until well blended.
• Slice the two remaining bananas and place over the cooled crust.
• Place dollops of the cream cheese mixture over the bananas and with an offset spatula, gently spread to completely cover.
• Evenly spread the pudding over the cream cheese mixture.
• Top with the remaining Cool Whip.
• Refrigerate for at least two hours.
• Place the 8 remaining Oreos into a plastic bag and crush. Sprinkle on top of the bars before serving.

Notes

This recipe calls for 1 1/2 cups of milk, not the 2 cups of milk called for on the package of pudding. Use only the 1 1/2 cups. It will create a thicker pudding, perfect for slicing.
