Cheesecake Banana Pudding Bites are delightful mini desserts that combine the creamy richness of cheesecake with the classic flavors of banana pudding. These bite-sized treats feature a vanilla wafer crust, a luscious banana-infused cheesecake filling, and are topped with whipped cream and banana slices.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 ½ cups vanilla wafer crumbs (about 40 cookies)
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 large ripe banana, mashed
  • ½ cup whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)

For the Topping:

  • 1 cup whipped topping
  • Sliced bananas
  • Additional crushed vanilla wafers

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
    • Line a mini muffin tin with mini cupcake liners or lightly grease the tin.
    • In a medium bowl, combine the vanilla wafer crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until well combined.
    • Press about 1 tablespoon of the mixture firmly into the bottom of each mini muffin cup to form a crust.
    • Bake for 5-7 minutes, or until set. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
  2. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:
    • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
    • Mix in the vanilla extract and sour cream until well combined.
    • Gently fold in the mashed banana and whipped topping until fully incorporated.
  3. Assemble the Cheesecake Bites:
    • Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling into the cooled crusts, filling them to the top.
    • Refrigerate the cheesecake bites for at least 2-3 hours, or until firm.
  4. Serve:
    • Before serving, top each cheesecake bite with a dollop of whipped topping, a slice of banana, and a sprinkle of crushed vanilla wafers.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for a smoother filling.
  • Use ripe bananas for optimal sweetness and flavor.
  • To prevent banana slices from browning, dip them in lemon juice before garnishing.
  • Store the cheesecake bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
