Just made this for a get-together tonight and "tweaked" it a bit to suit what I had on hand. I substituted the eggs with egg-beaters; the banana pudding with vanilla; and the cream cheese with fat-free strawberry cream cheese. I am sure the original recipe is terrific but since this is what I had available I went in this direction and the results are terrific! The filling is a bit sweeter than I like, but my kids and husband love it. Can't wait to serve it tonight!

Not sure where I went wrong, but my dessert turned out nothing like the picture. I barely had enough filling to spread one layer, let alone two layers. It was extremely thick and gummy and extremely sweet. I thinned down the second layer with some milk to try to cover the bananas and barely had enough. I'm going to add a layer of whipped topping over it to try to hide the bananas peeking through and also to give it a little height. My entire dessert is only about an inch tall. Very disappointed in this recipe and wouldn't make it again.
