Ingredients
Scale
Cheesecake Filling
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 cup vanilla wafers, crushed
Assembly
- 6 sugar cones
Instructions
- Prepare the cream cheese mixture: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Whip the heavy cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream using a mixer until stiff peaks form, which will help create a light and fluffy texture in the final filling.
- Combine whipped cream and cream cheese: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, mixing carefully to maintain the airy consistency without overmixing.
- Add bananas and wafers: Fold in the mashed ripe bananas along with the crushed vanilla wafers to incorporate flavor and texture uniformly.
- Fill the cones: Spoon the cheesecake mixture carefully into each sugar cone, pressing gently to pack the filling and avoid air pockets but not so hard as to break the cones.
- Chill to set: Place the filled cones upright in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the cheesecake filling to firm up and the flavors to meld.
- Serve and enjoy: Once chilled, serve the Banana Pudding Cheesecake Cones immediately for a cool, creamy dessert experience.
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the mixture.
- Use ripe bananas for maximum sweetness and flavor.
- Gently fold the ingredients to keep the mixture light and airy.
- Keep cones upright in the fridge using a stand or a container to prevent tipping.
- This dessert is best served within 24 hours for freshness and optimal texture.
- Optionally, garnish with additional crushed vanilla wafers or sliced bananas before serving.
