Irresistible Mini Banana Pudding Cheesecakes 🍰💛🍌

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 16 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 cup banana pudding mix
• 1/2 cup milk
• 2 bananas, sliced
• Whipped cream for garnish
• Crushed vanilla wafers for garnish

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of each liner to form the crust.
3. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and 1/2 cup sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Add the sour cream to the cheesecake mixture and mix until fully combined.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the banana pudding mix and milk until thickened. Gently fold the banana pudding mixture into the cheesecake batter until well combined.
6. Spoon the cheesecake mixture over the prepared graham cracker crusts, filling each liner almost to the top.
7. Bake the cheesecakes for 20-25 minutes, or until the centers are set. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool completely. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
8. Just before serving, top each mini cheesecake with a slice of banana, a dollop of whipped cream, and a sprinkle of crushed vanilla wafers.
