Best Banana Pudding Cheesecake Bites Recipes

BANANA PUDDING CHEESECAKE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 10-inch (25 cm) springform pan with nonstick spray.
• Make the banana bread crust: Set aside 7 vanilla wafers, then add the rest to a zip-top plastic bag and pound with a rolling pin into fine crumbs.
• Transfer the crushed wafers to a medium bowl, add the melted butter, and stir to combine.
• Pour the crust into the prepared pan and press against the bottom to about ¼ inch (6 mm) thick with a flat-bottomed measuring cup.
• In a large bowl, mash the bananas with a fork until smooth. Add the sugar, oil, egg, vanilla, salt, flour, and baking powder. Beat with an electric hand mixer until well-combined.
• Pour the banana bread mixture over the crust and spread evenly with a spatula.
• Bake for 30 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
• Make the cheesecake filling: In a large bowl, combine the milk, gelatin, and banana pudding mix. Beat with an electric hand mixer until thick and smooth.
• Add the sugar, vanilla, and cream cheese, and beat again until well-combined.
• Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition.
• Pour the cheesecake filling over the banana bread crust.
• Bake for 1 hour, then turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake in the oven. Prop the oven door open slightly with a kitchen towel to let the hot air slowly escape. After 2 hours, remove the cheesecake from the oven. Refrigerate overnight.
• Arrange the sliced bananas on top of the cheesecake. Release the springform, then pipe whipped cream on top of 7 of the bananas. Place the reserved vanilla wafer cookies on top of the whipped cream.
• Slice and serve.
• Enjoy!

• Spray two large silicone muffin tins with nonstick spray. In a large bowl, combine the vanilla wafer crumbs with the melted butter and 2 tablespoons sugar until evenly incorporated. Divide the mixture evenly into two large silicone muffin trays. Press down evenly to form a smooth even crust. Place the pans in the freezer.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the pudding mix, milk and bourbon until well combined. Place in the fridge and let chill until firm.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the chilled pudding and mix until just combined. Fold in 2 cups Cool Whip, being careful not to over-mix.
• Divide evenly into the muffin pans over the crust and spread to make smooth. Place in the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight. Place in freezer for an hour before serving.
• Remove the chilled cheesecakes from the pans and place on a plate or platter. Place 2 cups cool whip in a piping bag fitted with a medium star tip. Dollop each cheesecake with a bit of Cool Whip and spread out into an even layer. Place a whole vanilla wafer in the center of each cheesecake then pipe a decorative border around the edge of each cheesecake.
