Strawberry Cheesecake Banana Pudding – Creamy, Fruity & Oh-So-Decadent!

This Strawberry Cheesecake Banana Pudding is a layered delight with rich cheesecake flavor, fresh strawberries, bananas, and vanilla wafers. A refreshing twist on classic banana pudding for any dessert table!

Ingredients:

1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
1 box (3.4 oz) instant cheesecake or vanilla pudding mix
2 cups cold milk
1 cup heavy whipping cream (or 8 oz whipped topping)
4 bananas, sliced
1 lb fresh strawberries, sliced
1 box vanilla wafers

Instructions:

Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture:

In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sweetened condensed milk and beat until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together pudding mix and cold milk until it starts to thicken. Fold this mixture into the cream cheese mixture until smooth.
Whip the Cream: If using heavy whipping cream, beat until stiff peaks form. Gently fold whipped cream (or whipped topping) into the cream cheese and pudding mixture.

Assemble the Layers:

In a trifle dish or large bowl, layer vanilla wafers, banana slices, strawberries, and the cream mixture.
Repeat layers, ending with a layer of the cream mixture on top. Garnish with extra strawberries, banana slices, and a few whole wafers.
Chill and Serve: Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to let the flavors meld.

Enjoy a sweet and creamy bite of this crowd-pleasing dessert!
