Ingredients
Scale
Cheesecake Filling:
- 2 cups cold heavy cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
Pudding Layer:
- 1 box (5.1 ounces) instant vanilla pudding mix
- 2 cups cold milk
Additional Layers:
- 4 ripe bananas, sliced
- 1 pound strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 box vanilla wafers
- 1/2 cup strawberry jam, slightly warmed
- Crushed graham crackers, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare Cheesecake Filling: Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form. In another bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sweetened condensed milk and mix until creamy.
- Make Pudding Layer: In a separate bowl, whisk together pudding mix and cold milk until thickened, about 2 minutes. Fold pudding into the cream cheese mixture, then gently fold in half of the whipped cream.
- Assemble: Spread a thin layer of pudding mixture on the bottom of a 9×13-inch dish. Add a layer of vanilla wafers, followed by banana slices, strawberries, dollops of strawberry jam, and a layer of pudding mixture. Repeat layers until ingredients are used, finishing with pudding.
- Chill and Serve: Top with remaining whipped cream and sprinkle with crushed graham crackers. Chill for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
Notes
- For a stronger cheesecake flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest to the cream cheese mixture.
- This dessert can be made a day ahead, making it perfect for gatherings.
- Use golden Oreos instead of vanilla wafers for an extra creamy texture.
