Can I use homemade pudding instead of instant?
Absolutely! Just make sure it’s fully chilled and thickened before folding into the cream cheese mixture.
How do I prevent the bananas from turning brown?
Toss banana slices in a bit of lemon juice before layering to slow oxidation.
Can I use store-bought whipped topping?
Yes! Use about 3–4 cups of Cool Whip if you’re short on time.
