Prepare the Pudding Base:
In a large bowl, whisk together the vanilla pudding mix and cold milk until it thickens. Add the sweetened condensed milk and softened cream cheese, and beat until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with vanilla extract until soft peaks form, then fold into the pudding mixture.
