Ingredients:
- 3 cups Nilla Wafer cookie crumbs (approximately one 11-ounce box)
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 pint heavy whipping cream
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 24 ounces cream cheese (3 8-ounce packages), softened
- 2 packages instant banana cream pudding mix (3.4 ounces each)
- Optional garnish: whipped topping and banana slices
Directions:
1️⃣ Prepare the Crust: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Nilla Wafer crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a square 8×8-inch baking pan lined with parchment paper. Chill the crust in the refrigerator or freezer until firm.
2️⃣ Whip the Cream: In a large metal mixing bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream and sugar with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
3️⃣ Make the Cheesecake Filling: In another large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the dry banana cream pudding mixes, beating well between each addition.
4️⃣ Combine with Whipped Cream: Add the whipped cream to the cream cheese mixture and mix until smooth and well combined.
5️⃣ Assemble the Bars: Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the chilled Nilla wafer crust. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or overnight, to allow the flavors to set.
6️⃣ Serve: Once the cheesecake is fully set, cut into 9 squares. Garnish with whipped topping and banana slices, if desired. Serve chilled.
