Ingredients
Scale
- 1 8 oz package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 5.1 oz box vanilla instant pudding mix
- 2 cups cold milk
- 1 box vanilla wafers or cookies of choice
- 2 bananas, sliced
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped, plus extra for garnish
- Crushed strawberry wafers (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Cheesecake Layer: Begin by beating the softened cream cheese in a medium bowl until smooth. Integrate the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until fully blended. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until it forms stiff peaks, then fold it gently into the cream cheese mixture. Set this aside for later use.
- Prepare the Pudding Layer: In another bowl, vigorously whisk together the vanilla instant pudding mix with cold milk for around 2 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly. Allow this to sit for a few moments to further firm up.
- Assemble the Pudding: Start by placing a layer of vanilla wafers at the bottom of your serving dish or individual cups. Top these with a layer of banana slices and chopped strawberries. Spread a generous layer of the cheesecake mixture over the fruits followed by a smoothing layer of vanilla pudding. Continue these layering steps until all components are utilized.
