Banana Pudding Cheesecake Creation

Ingredients (Serves 8–10)

Crust:

• 1 ½ cups vanilla wafer crumbs (or crushed graham crackers)

• ¼ cup sugar

• 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

Banana Pudding Layer:

• 1 package (3.4 oz / 96 g) instant vanilla pudding

• 2 cups cold milk

• 2 ripe bananas, sliced

Cheesecake Layer:

• 16 oz (450 g) cream cheese, softened

• ½ cup sugar

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 1 cup heavy cream, whipped (or whipped coconut cream for vegan option)

Topping:

• Whipped cream

• Extra banana slices

• Crushed vanilla wafers or cookies

Instructions

1. Make the crust

   • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

   • Mix wafer crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.

   • Bake 8–10 minutes, then let cool.

2. Prepare banana pudding layer

   • Whisk pudding mix with cold milk according to package instructions.

   • Spread a layer of pudding over the cooled crust.

   • Top with a layer of sliced bananas.

3. Prepare cheesecake layer

   • Beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth.

   • Gently fold in whipped cream.

   • Spread evenly over the banana pudding layer.

4. Chill

   • Refrigerate at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to set fully.

5. Add topping

   • Before serving, spread whipped cream on top.

   • Garnish with extra banana slices and crushed vanilla wafers.

Tips

• Make it extra creamy: Let cream cheese come to room temperature before mixing.

• For a more indulgent twist: Drizzle caramel or chocolate sauce on top.

• Vegan option: Use vegan cream cheese, coconut whipped cream, and non-dairy milk for pudding.

If you want, I can also give a “mini parfait-style” version—individual servings that look fancy but require no cutting or springform pan. That version is perfect for parties. Do you want me to do that?
