Ingredients
Scale
Banana Pudding Layer:
- 1 package (3.4 oz) instant banana cream pudding mix
- 2 cups cold milk
Cheesecake Layer:
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Additional Ingredients:
- 2 cups whipped topping, plus more for garnish
- 1 1/2 cups sliced fresh strawberries
- 2–3 ripe bananas, sliced
- 1 box vanilla wafer cookies (about 11 oz), crushed
- Cookies and strawberry slices for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Banana Pudding Layer: In a medium bowl, whisk together the banana pudding mix and cold milk until thickened, about 2 minutes.
- Cheesecake Layer: In a separate large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract, beating until well combined and creamy.
- Assembly: Fold the prepared pudding into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated, then gently fold in the whipped topping. In a 9×13-inch dish or trifle bowl, layer vanilla wafers, banana slices, and strawberries. Spread half of the pudding mixture over the fruit and repeat the layers, finishing with the remaining pudding. Top with more whipped topping, crushed cookies, and strawberry slices if desired. Chill for at least 4 hours before serving.
Notes
- Best served the same day or within 24 hours for optimal texture.
- You can substitute cheesecake pudding mix for banana cream for a slightly different twist.
