Time 8h35m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 (11 ounce) box vanilla wafer cookies
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
2 medium bananas
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
¾ cup white sugar
¼ cup milk, or as needed
2 large eggs
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
3 cups cold milk
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 (5 ounce) package cheesecake pudding mix
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
1 cup caramel dessert topping, or to taste
4 medium bananas, sliced
½ (11 ounce) box vanilla wafer cookies, or as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Crush wafers in a food processor into fine crumbs. Transfer to a medium bowl and mix with melted butter. Press into the bottom of the prepared dish.
  • Combine condensed milk, bananas, flour, and vanilla in a blender; process until smooth.
  • Beat cream cheese and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Blend in milk, then mix in eggs, one at a time, mixing just enough to incorporate. Add banana mixture and mix until smooth. Pour filling into the prepared crust; it will be about 1/2 inch thick.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Turn oven off and let cake cook in the oven with the door closed for 5 to 6 hours; this prevents cracking. Remove from the oven and place in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
  • Prepare pudding: Beat cream cheese in a large bowl until fluffy. Add cold milk, condensed milk, pudding mix, and vanilla; beat until smooth. Fold in 1/2 of the whipped topping and set remaining topping aside.
  • Remove the cheesecake from the refrigerator. Layer some caramel over the cheesecake, then top with 1/2 of the sliced bananas. Arrange vanilla wafers evenly over bananas. Spread pudding mixture over wafers and top with remaining whipped topping. Repeat caramel, wafers, and remaining bananas.
