Banana Pudding Cheesecake Cones Recipe

Introduction

Banana Pudding Cheesecake Cones are a delightful twist on classic banana pudding, combining creamy cheesecake filling with crunchy sugar cones. This easy no-bake dessert is perfect for warm days or any time you want a fun and delicious treat.

Ingredients

• 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 ripe bananas, mashed
• 1 cup vanilla wafers, crushed
• 6 sugar cones

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with granulated sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy, with no lumps remaining.
2. Step 2: In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, meaning the cream holds its shape firmly when the beaters are lifted.
3. Step 3: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, mixing carefully to keep the texture light and fluffy.
4. Step 4: Fold in the mashed bananas and crushed vanilla wafers evenly, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
5. Step 5: Spoon the cheesecake mixture into each sugar cone, pressing gently to pack the filling without breaking the cones.
6. Step 6: Place the filled cones upright in the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour to allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld.
7. Step 7: Remove from the fridge and serve chilled for a refreshing and tasty dessert.

Tips & Variations

• For added texture, sprinkle some chopped nuts or shredded coconut inside the cones before filling.
• Use ripe but firm bananas to avoid overly soft filling.
• Try mini sugar cones for bite-sized treats suitable for parties.
• For a boozy twist, mix in a tablespoon of banana liqueur or rum into the cream cheese mixture.

Storage

Store leftover cheesecake cones in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To keep the cones crisp, store filling and cones separately and assemble just before serving. Reheat is not recommended; serve chilled for best texture and flavor.
