Ingredients
1 1/2 cups crushed vanilla wafers
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
16 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 package (3.4 oz) instant banana pudding mix
1 cup cold milk
1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 medium ripe bananas, sliced
1 cup whipped topping or extra whipped cream
2 tbsp caramel sauce (optional)
2 tbsp sprinkles or crushed wafers (optional)
Instructions
1. Crush vanilla wafers into fine crumbs using a food processor. Mix with melted butter and press into the bottom of a springform pan. Chill for 10–15 minutes.
2. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and fluffy.
3. Add banana pudding mix and cold milk. Beat until thick and creamy.
4. Whip the heavy cream in a separate bowl to stiff peaks. Gently fold into the banana cheesecake filling.
5. Pour half of the filling over the crust. Add a single layer of banana slices. Top with the remaining filling.
6. Smooth the top with a spatula and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
7. Before serving, top with whipped cream, banana slices, caramel drizzle, and optional sprinkles or wafer crumbs.
Notes
Let the cream cheese soften fully before mixing to avoid lumps in the filling.
Use a hot knife (dipped in warm water) to slice for clean cuts.
If bananas are browning quickly, brush them lightly with lemon juice before layering.
