Strawberry Cheesecake Banana Pudding is a creamy, dreamy dessert that layers luscious cheesecake filling, ripe bananas, fresh strawberries, and vanilla wafers into a no-bake treat that’s perfect for gatherings or indulgent cravings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 1/2 cups cold water
- 1 (3.4 oz) box instant cheesecake pudding mix
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 bananas, sliced
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1 (11 oz) box vanilla wafer cookies
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk and cold water until combined. Add cheesecake pudding mix and whisk for 2 minutes. Refrigerate for 5–10 minutes to set.
- In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the chilled pudding mixture and beat until well combined and creamy.
- In another bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Fold whipped cream into the cheesecake pudding mixture until light and fluffy.
- In a trifle dish or large serving bowl, layer vanilla wafers, banana slices, strawberries, and cheesecake mixture. Repeat layers until all ingredients are used, ending with the cheesecake mixture.
- Garnish the top with additional strawberries, banana slices, and crushed cookies if desired.
- Chill for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
Notes
- Use firm bananas to prevent them from getting mushy.
- Can be made a day ahead for deeper flavor and easier serving.
- Top with a drizzle of strawberry syrup for extra sweetness.
