Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large bowl, combine the vanilla pudding mix and banana cream pudding mix with 4 cups of very cold milk. Whisk vigorously for 2-3 minutes until thicken.
  2. In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese along with vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sweetened condensed milk until completely smooth.
  3. Gently fold the cream cheese mixture into the prepared pudding until fully combined, then fold in one container of Cool Whip.
  4. In a trifle dish, spoon a layer of the pudding mixture, then layer with Chessman cookies, Nilla wafers, banana slices, and strawberries.
  5. If using strawberry glaze, drizzle it in between the layers, then continue repeating layers until all ingredients are used.
  6. Top off with the remaining pudding mixture, cover with Cool Whip, and decorate with strawberries and crushed cookies. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
