Christine

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pkgs. 3.4 oz each banana cream instant pudding, plus milk called for to prepare it
  • 24 golden frosting filled sandwich cookies
  • 1 c. powdered sugar
  • 8 oz. cream cheese softened
  • 1 c. whipped topping save the rest of the 8 oz tub to spread over the top
  • 1 heaping cup sliced fresh strawberries
  • 1 large banana sliced
  • chopped nuts pecans, walnuts, chocolate syrup, maraschino cherries, sprinkles for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Prepare pudding according to directions on the package. Place it in the refrigerator to set while you make the crust.
  • For the crust, place cookies in a resealable bag and mash (I used a rolling pin). You'll still want coarse chunks.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream together powdered sugar, cream cheese, and whipped topping. Stir in mashed cookies. Spread mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9x13" pan.
  • Sprinkle sliced strawberries and bananas over the crust, then spread the pudding mixture over the fruit.
  • Place in the refrigerator and let set for at least an hour. Just before serving, spread remainder of whipped topping tub over the top. Garnish with sprinkles, chocolate syrup, chopped nuts and maraschino cherries. Serve immediately after garnishing.
