Sure! Here’s a fun recipe for Banana Pudding Cheesecake Cones. These are perfect as a treat or party dessert!
Ingredients:
For the cheesecake filling:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup sour cream (optional for a tangy flavor)
For the banana pudding:
- 2 ripe bananas, sliced
- 1 box of instant vanilla pudding mix (small size)
- 1 1/2 cups cold milk (for pudding mix)
For the cones:
- 12 waffle cones (small size)
For garnish:
- Nilla wafer cookies (crumbled or whole)
- Whipped cream (optional)
- Extra banana slices
Instructions:
- Prepare the banana pudding:
- In a bowl, combine the instant vanilla pudding mix with 1 1/2 cups of cold milk. Whisk for about 2 minutes until it thickens. Set it aside in the fridge to firm up, about 5-10 minutes.
- Make the cheesecake filling:
- In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy.
- Add the heavy whipping cream, vanilla extract, and sour cream (if using), and continue to beat until the mixture becomes thick and holds its shape.
- Assemble the cones:
- Begin by filling the bottom of each waffle cone with a spoonful of cheesecake filling.
- Add a layer of sliced banana on top of the cheesecake filling.
- Then, spoon in a layer of banana pudding.
- Continue layering until you reach the top of the cone, leaving a little space at the top for the final touches.
- Top with garnish:
- Sprinkle crumbled Nilla wafer cookies on top of the banana pudding.
- Add a dollop of whipped cream if you like.
- For an extra touch, add a slice of banana on top or even drizzle some caramel sauce for extra sweetness!
- Serve:
- Serve immediately, or refrigerate for about 30 minutes before serving if you prefer it chilled.
Tips:
- You can make the cheesecake filling and pudding ahead of time, and assemble the cones just before serving to keep them from getting soggy.
- If you can’t find waffle cones, sugar cones also work well for a slightly different texture.
