🍌 Banana Pudding Cheesecake 🧁
Ingredients (Makes 1 10-Inch Cheesecake / Serves 8–10):
For the Cheesecake:
2 (8 oz) packages full-fat cream cheese, softened
½ cup granulated sugar (or sugar substitute, if preferred)
2 large eggs
1 (3.4 oz) box banana cream instant pudding mix (not cook-and-serve)
15 Nilla Wafers or similar vanilla wafers, coarsely crushed
For the Crust:
1 store-bought 10-inch graham cracker pie crust
Optional Topping:
Whipped cream
Banana slices
Additional vanilla wafers
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven:
Set your oven to 300°F (150°C) and allow it to heat while you prepare the batter.
Beat the Cream Cheese and Sugar:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy—about 2 minutes on medium speed.
Add the Eggs:
One at a time, add the eggs, mixing well after each addition until fully incorporated.
Incorporate the Pudding Mix:
Add the banana cream instant pudding mix to the cream cheese mixture. Mix on low speed until just combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure everything is evenly mixed.
Fold in the Vanilla Wafers:
Crush the vanilla wafers by hand or with a rolling pin until they are broken into small pieces. Gently fold them into the batter for added texture.
Fill the Crust:
Pour the cheesecake batter into the prepared graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake Until Set:
Bake for 55–60 minutes or until the center is mostly set but still slightly jiggly. The top may puff up slightly, but it will settle as it cools.
Cool and Chill:
Let the cheesecake cool completely at room temperature before refrigerating for several hours or overnight. Chilling helps the flavors develop and the texture to firm up.
Serve with a Touch of Elegance:
Top each slice with a dollop of whipped cream, a banana slice, and a mini vanilla wafer for a classic finishing touch.
