Ingredients

Scale
  1. For the Cheesecake Filling:
    • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
    • 1 cup powdered sugar
    • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract
    • 1 package (3.4 oz) instant banana pudding mix
    • 1 1/2 cups cold milk

    For the Cones:

    • 1012 waffle cones or sugar cones
    • 1 cup crushed vanilla wafer cookies
    • 2 tbsp melted butter

    For Garnish:

    1. Sliced bananas
    2. Whipped cream
    3. Crushed vanilla wafer cookies
    4. Caramel drizzle (optional)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:
    • Beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar in a large bowl until smooth and creamy.
    • In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form, then fold it into the cream cheese mixture.
    • In another bowl, whisk the instant banana pudding mix and cold milk until thickened (about 2-3 minutes).
    • Gently fold the prepared banana pudding into the cream cheese mixture. Refrigerate the mixture while preparing the cones.
  • Prepare the Cones:
    • In a small bowl, combine the crushed vanilla wafer cookies with melted butter until evenly coated.
    • Dip the top edges of the cones into the melted butter mixture, then roll them in the crushed vanilla wafer cookies to create a cookie rim. Let the cones sit for a few minutes to set.
  • Assemble the Cheesecake Cones:
    • Spoon or pipe the banana pudding cheesecake filling into the prepared cones, filling them generously.
  • Garnish and Serve:
    • Top each cone with a slice of banana, a dollop of whipped cream, extra crushed vanilla wafers, and a drizzle of caramel if desired.
    • Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • Extra Creaminess: For an even richer texture, use full-fat cream cheese and heavy cream.
  • Toppings: Feel free to add your favorite toppings, like chocolate shavings or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
  • Make-Ahead: You can prepare the filling and coat the cones in advance. Just assemble the cones before serving to maintain their crunchiness.
