Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients:
- 1 cup (240 ml) vanilla wafer crumbs (or graham cracker crumbs)
- 3 tablespoons (45 ml) unsalted butter, melted
Cream Cheese Mixture:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup (30 grams) powdered sugar
- ½ cup (120 ml) heavy whipping cream, whipped
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
Pudding and Fruit Ingredients:
- 1 package (3.4 ounces or 96 grams) instant banana cream pudding mix
- 1 ½ cups (360 ml) cold milk
- 1 cup (150 grams) fresh strawberries, diced
- 1 banana, sliced
- Additional vanilla wafers for garnish
Instructions
- Craft a delicate base by pulverizing vanilla wafers and blending with melted butter. Gently compress the crumbly mixture into individual serving vessels, creating a uniform foundation that will support subsequent layers.
- Transform cream cheese into a velvety mixture by whipping with powdered sugar until silky smooth. Tenderly incorporate whipped cream and vanilla, folding with a light touch to maintain airy texture. Delicately spread this luxurious cheesecake layer atop the crumb base.
- Prepare banana cream pudding by vigorously whisking with cold milk, watching the mixture transform into a thick, creamy consistency. Carefully cascade this golden layer over the delicate cheesecake foundation.
- Embellish each dessert cup with a vibrant medley of freshly diced strawberries and elegantly sliced bananas. Crown the creation with a classic vanilla wafer, adding a crisp textural contrast.
- Allow the assembled dessert cups to rest in the refrigerator, letting layers harmonize and set. Chill for approximately one hour to ensure perfect consistency and intensified flavor profile. Serve directly from the cold and savor the intricate layers of this decadent treat.
Notes
- Choose vanilla wafers with crisp texture for a perfect crumbly crust base that adds delightful crunch.
- Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature to create smooth, lump-free cheesecake layer without overmixing.
- Slice bananas just before assembling to prevent browning and maintain fresh appearance in the dessert.
- Use instant pudding mix for quick preparation, but consider homemade pudding for more authentic flavor profile.
