Instructions:
- Prepare the Pudding:
- In a saucepan, mix the vanilla pudding powder with milk, cream, and sugar according to the package instructions. Cook until the pudding thickens.

- Make the Chocolate Sauce:

- Slice the bananas and arrange a layer over the ladyfingers.
- Spoon the chilled pudding over the bananas.
- Pour the chocolate sauce over the pudding layer.
- Sprinkle chocolate drops on top for added texture and chocolatey bites.
- Chill:
- Allow the dessert to set in the refrigerator for at least 6-8 hours to ensure that the flavors meld together and the ladyfingers soften from the moisture of the pudding and bananas.
