Ingredients
Fruit
- 2 bananas, sliced

Pudding
- 1 package vanilla pudding mix
- 2 cups milk
Cheesecake Filling
- 200 g cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipped topping
Others
- 1 cup vanilla wafers or cookies
Instructions
- Prepare the pudding: Follow the package instructions to prepare the vanilla pudding using 2 cups of milk. Once mixed, place the pudding in the refrigerator and chill until set.
- Make the cheesecake filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Fold in whipped topping: Gently fold the whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture, creating a light and fluffy cheesecake-style filling.
- Start layering: In a serving dish, create the first layer using vanilla wafers or cookies, followed by a layer of sliced bananas and strawberries.
- Add pudding and cheesecake layers: Spoon a layer of the chilled vanilla pudding over the fruit, then spread a layer of the cheesecake mixture on top.
- Repeat layers: Continue layering cookies, bananas, strawberries, pudding, and cheesecake filling until all ingredients are used up, finishing with a cheesecake layer.
- Chill the dessert: Cover the dessert and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the layers to set properly.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm bananas to avoid mushiness in the dessert.
- For added fruit flavor and freshness, increase the amount of strawberries.
- This dessert is best served chilled to enjoy the perfect creamy texture and layered flavors.
