Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, blend cream cheese with sweetened condensed milk until silky smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Sprinkle in the French vanilla pudding mix and gradually add milk while mixing. Stir until thickened and free from lumps, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. In a large serving dish, arrange a layer of vanilla wafers at the bottom, then layer with banana slices and half of the strawberries.
  4. Pour half of the creamy pudding mixture over the fruit layer, smoothing it out with a spatula.
  5. Repeat the layering process with the remaining ingredients, ending with the pudding mixture on top.
  6. Spread whipped topping over the pudding layer evenly.
  7. Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
