Ingredients

1 pkg. (8 oz.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened, divided
2-1/2 cups milk, divided
1 pkg. (3.9 oz.) JELL-O Chocolate Flavor Instant Pudding
2-1/2 cups thawed COOL WHIP Whipped Topping, divided
1 pkg. (4 oz.) BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Chocolate, melted, cooled and divided
1 can (8 oz.) pineapple tidbits, drained, juice reserved and divided
1 pkg. (3.4 oz.) JELL-O Vanilla Flavor Instant Pudding
30 vanilla wafers
4 bananas, divided
2 cups fresh strawberries, quartered
1 Tbsp. chopped pecans

Steps:

Beat half the cream cheese in large bowl with mixer until creamy. Gradually beat in 1-1/2 cups milk. Add dry chocolate pudding mix; beat 2 min. Add 1 cup COOL WHIP and half the melted chocolate; beat on low speed just until blended. Spoon into 2-1/2-qt. bowl.
Reserve 1/4 cup pineapple tidbits. Beat remaining cream cheese in separate bowl with mixer on medium speed until creamy. Gradually beat in remaining milk. Add dry vanilla pudding mix; beat 2 min. Add reserved pineapple juice and 1 cup of the remaining COOL WHIP; beat on low speed just until blended. Stir in remaining pineapple tidbits.
Arrange wafers over chocolate pudding layer. Reserve 1/2 banana for garnish. Cut each of the remaining bananas crosswise, then lengthwise in half; arrange over wafers. Top with layers of vanilla pudding mixture, strawberries and reserved pineapple tidbits. Drizzle with remaining melted chocolate. Top with remaining COOL WHIP; sprinkle with nuts. Refrigerate 1 hour.
Cut reserved banana half lengthwise in half; insert into top of dessert just before serving.
