Ingredients
Scale
- 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
- 6 sugar cones
Instructions
- Prepare the Cheesecake Mixture:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Whip the Heavy Cream:
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. This will give the filling a light and airy texture.
- Combine the Mixtures:
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
- Add Bananas and Vanilla Wafers:
- Fold in the mashed bananas and crushed vanilla wafers. This will give the filling the classic banana pudding flavor with a bit of crunch.
- Assemble the Cones:
- Spoon the banana pudding cheesecake mixture into the sugar cones, filling them generously. You can gently tap the cones on the counter to pack the filling in evenly.
- Freeze:
- Place the filled cones on a tray and freeze for at least 2 hours, or until the filling is firm and set.
Notes
- You can decorate the cones with extra crushed vanilla wafers or banana slices for a garnish.
- For an extra indulgent twist, drizzle caramel or chocolate syrup over the cones before serving.
- If you can’t find sugar cones, you can use regular waffle cones instead.
