Not Yo' Mama's Pudding

This recipe came from a lady at my church (Vanessa Schaumann) who got it from Paula Deen.  I adjusted the ingredients a little bit and have included the recipe exactly as I made it.  I served it as a nice dessert at a Relief Society activity a few months ago.  It tasted great and was very pretty with all the fruit on top.

1 bag Pepperidge Farm Chessman cookies
2 cups milk
1 (5oz) box instant vanilla pudding
1 (8oz) package cream cheese, softened
1 (14oz) can sweetened condensed milk
1 (12oz) container frozen whipped topping, thawed

• Crush the cookies and sprinkle them on the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish.  (If you don't want to crush the cookies you can just layer the bottom of the dish with whole cookies)
• In a bowl, combine the milk and pudding mix.  Blend well using a handheld electric mixer.
• Using another bowl, combinet he cream cheese and condensed milk together and mix until smooth.
• Fold the whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture.  Add the cream cheese mixture to the pudding and stir until well blended.
• Pour the mixture over the cookies.  Refrigerate several hours so the cookies soften a bit.
• When you are ready to serve top the pudding with your choice of berries (strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, etc. - it looks a tastes great if you use a variety).
