Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by crushing 20 Golden Oreos in a food processor until fine crumbs. Combine with melted unsalted butter and press into an ungreased 8x8 baking dish. Chill in freezer for 30 minutes.
  2. Whisk together the instant banana pudding mix with 1.5 cups of milk in a bowl until smooth and thickened, about 2 minutes. Set aside.
  3. In another bowl, mash one ripe banana, then mix in cream cheese, confectioners’ sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat until creamy, then fold in Cool Whip.
  4. Layer sliced bananas over the chilled crust, followed by the cream cheese mixture, and then the thickened pudding. Spread carefully.
  5. Top with remaining Cool Whip, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Crush remaining Oreos and sprinkle before serving.
