Description

A delightful dessert combining rich cheesecake flavors with sweet bananas, topped with whipped cream.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 3/4 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 11 graham crackers)
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened

  • 1 (8-ounce) package Cool Whip, thawed, divided
  • 4 ripe bananas, sliced
  • 1 3/4 cups milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan with oil.

  3. Press the remaining crumb mixture evenly into the bottom and slightly up the sides of the prepared pan.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for about 7 minutes. Allow it to cool completely before adding the filling.

  6. Using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth.
  7. Gently fold in 2 cups of Cool Whip until combined.
  8. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the bananas in the crust.
  9. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and instant pudding mix until it starts to set (about 2 minutes).
  10. Fold in the remaining Cool Whip until smooth.
  11. Spread the pudding mixture over the banana layer.
  12. Sprinkle the reserved graham cracker crumbs over the top of the pudding layer.

  14. Slice and serve chilled.

Notes
