@donna.recipes: 🍌🍮 Caramel Banana Pudding Cheesecake 🍰✨ This is what happens when classic Southern banana pudding meets creamy cheesecake! A buttery vanilla-wafer crust, silky banana cheesecake, layers of fresh bananas and pudding, finished with caramel and crunchy vanilla wafers. Ingredients For the Vanilla Wafer Crust * 2 cups crushed vanilla wafers * 5 tbsp unsalted butter, melted * 2 tbsp brown sugar For the Cheesecake * 24 oz cream cheese, softened * ¾ cup granulated sugar * 3 large eggs * 1 cup sour cream * 1 tsp vanilla extract * 1 ripe banana, mashed * 2 tbsp all-purpose flour For the Banana Pudding Layer * 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix * 1½ cups cold whole milk * 1 cup heavy whipping cream * 2 tbsp powdered sugar * 1 tsp vanilla extract * 2 bananas, sliced For the Topping * Whipped cream * Vanilla wafers * Fresh banana slices * Caramel sauce * Crushed vanilla wafers Instructions 1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). 2. Mix crushed vanilla wafers, melted butter, and brown sugar. 3. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan and bake for 8 minutes. 4. Beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. 5. Add the mashed banana, sour cream, vanilla, and flour. 6. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low just until combined. 7. Pour the filling over the crust. 8. Bake for 50–60 minutes, until the edges are set but the center still has a slight jiggle. 9. Turn off the oven, crack the door, and leave the cheesecake inside for 30 minutes. 10. Cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. 11. Whisk the vanilla pudding mix with cold milk until thickened. 12. Whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until fluffy, then gently fold it into the pudding. 13. Spread a layer of banana slices over the chilled cheesecake. 14. Spoon the creamy banana-pudding mixture over the top. 15. Decorate with whipped cream, vanilla wafers, banana slices, and crushed wafers. 16. Finish with a generous caramel drizzle right before serving. Prep Time: 25 minutes Bake Time: 50–60 minutes Chill Time: 4+ hours Servings: 10–12 💡 For a viral video: cut out one thick slice and slowly lift it away so the creamy cheesecake, banana-pudding layer, cookie crust, and caramel are all visible. #BananaPudding #Cheesecake #DessertRecipe #SouthernDessert #SweetTreats
