Instructions

  • Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:

    • In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
    • Gently fold in the whipped heavy cream and set aside.
  • Make the Banana Pudding:

    • In a separate bowl, whisk together the banana pudding mix and cold milk for about 2 minutes until thickened.
    • Let the pudding set for 5 minutes.
  • Assemble the Cones:

    • Pipe or spoon a layer of cheesecake filling into each waffle cone.
    • Add a layer of banana pudding and a few slices of banana.
    • Repeat layers until the cone is filled.
  • Garnish:

    • Finish with a whole vanilla wafer and a banana slice.
  • Serve:

    • Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before enjoying a chilled version.

Notes

  • For extra crunch, coat the inside of the waffle cones with melted chocolate and let them set before filling.
  • If making ahead, store the cheesecake filling and pudding separately, then assemble before serving.
  • You can swap vanilla wafers for Nutter Butter cookies for a peanut butter twist.
