Ingredients
Scale
Cheesecake Filling
- 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
Serving
- 6 sugar cones
Instructions
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with granulated sugar and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Whip the Heavy Cream: In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, meaning the cream holds its shape firmly when the beaters are lifted.
- Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, mixing carefully to maintain the fluffy texture without deflating the whipped cream.
- Add Bananas and Wafers: Fold in the mashed ripe bananas and crushed vanilla wafers gently, distributing them evenly while preserving the lightness of the mixture.
- Fill the Cones: Carefully spoon the cheesecake mixture into each sugar cone, pressing gently to pack the filling completely without breaking the cones.
- Chill to Set: Place the filled cones upright in the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour to allow the filling to firm up and flavors to meld.
- Serve: Remove from the fridge and serve the Banana Pudding Cheesecake Cones chilled for a refreshing and delicious dessert experience.
Notes
- Use ripe bananas for optimal sweetness and flavor.
- Chilling time can be extended up to 3 hours for a firmer filling.
- To avoid soggy cones, fill them just before serving.
- For added texture, sprinkle extra crushed vanilla wafers on top before serving.
- You can substitute sugar cones with waffle cones if desired.
