Ingredients for Strawberry Cheesecake Banana Pudding Recipe: Regarding the layer of cheesecake: One box (8 oz) of softened cream cheese One cup of thick whipping cream Half a cup of powdered sugar One teaspoon of vanilla cream Regarding the layer of pudding:
One box of vanilla instant pudding mix (5.1 oz) Two cups of cold milk Regarding the dessert:
One box of vanilla wafers, or any other type of cookie One cup of freshly chopped strawberries (plus extra for garnish) and two bananas, sliced Crushed strawberry wafers (for garnish, if desired)
Beat the softened cream cheese until it's smooth in a medium bowl. Mix in vanilla extract and powdered sugar until well blended. Beat the heavy cream until firm peaks form in a separate bowl. The whipped cream should be gently folded into the cream cheese mixture. Put aside.
2. Get the layer of pudding ready: Whisk the cold milk and vanilla pudding mix in a bowl for approximately two minutes, or until the mixture thickens. Put aside so it can solidify.
3. Put the pudding together: Line the bottom of a serving dish or individual cups with vanilla wafers. Cover the cookies with a layer of fresh strawberries and banana slices. Drizzle the fruit with the cheesecake mixture.
Smooth the vanilla pudding layer over the cheesecake. Layers should be repeated as necessary, switching between fruit, cheesecake, and pudding.
4. Top and relax: For texture, add crushed strawberry wafers and additional fresh strawberries as garnish. For optimal flavor, cover and chill for at least three hours or overnight.
5. Present and savor: Enjoy the layers of fruit, crunch, and creaminess of this decadent dessert when it's served cold!
