🧾 Ingredients
For the Cheesecake Layer:
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped to stiff peaks
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Pudding Layer:
- 1 (5.1 oz) box instant vanilla pudding mix
- 2 cups cold milk
For the Base & Fruit:
- 1 box vanilla wafers (or your favorite cookies)
- 2 bananas, sliced (toss lightly with lemon juice to prevent browning)
- 1 cup chopped fresh strawberries, plus extra for garnish
- Crushed strawberry wafers (optional) for topping
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Make the Cheesecake Filling
Beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla, mixing until fully blended. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture. Set aside.
2. Prepare the Pudding
In a medium bowl, whisk together the pudding mix and cold milk until thickened. Let it sit for a few minutes to set.
3. Assemble the Layers
Begin with a layer of vanilla wafers at the bottom of your serving dish or dessert cups. Add sliced bananas and strawberries on top. Spread a layer of cheesecake filling, followed by a layer of pudding. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, ending with pudding or fruit on top.
4. Garnish and Chill
Finish with extra strawberries and a sprinkle of crushed strawberry wafers. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours—or overnight—for best results.
5. Serve and Enjoy
Serve chilled and enjoy the delicious combination of creamy cheesecake, soft pudding, and fresh fruit. A dessert that’s as easy to make as it is impressive to serve!
