For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of ground cinnamon or nutmeg to the pudding mixture. If you prefer a less sweet pudding, you can reduce the amount of sweetened condensed milk. To prevent the bananas from browning, toss them with a little lemon juice before layering. Feel free to substitute other types of cookies, such as vanilla wafers or shortbread, for the Chessmen cookies. For a richer flavor, use whole milk instead of lower-fat options. Make sure your cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the pudding.
