🍌 Banana Pudding Cheesecake Cones Recipe

⭐ Introduction

Imagine the creaminess of cheesecake, the nostalgic sweetness of banana pudding, and the crunch of a waffle cone—all in one handheld treat! These Banana Pudding Cheesecake Cones are fun, no-bake desserts perfect for parties, family gatherings, or simply when your sweet tooth demands something special. They combine layers of creamy cheesecake filling, smooth banana pudding, crunchy vanilla wafers, and fresh bananas for a treat that’s both playful and elegant.

📝 Ingredients

  • 6 waffle cones (sturdy ones to hold the filling)
  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 box (3.4 oz) instant banana pudding mix
  • 1 ½ cups cold milk
  • 1 cup crushed vanilla wafers (plus a few whole ones for garnish)
  • 1–2 fresh bananas, sliced
  • 1 cup whipped cream (homemade or store-bought, for topping)
  • Optional drizzle: caramel sauce or melted white chocolate

🍳 Instructions & Methods

Step 1 – Prepare the Banana Pudding

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the instant banana pudding mix and cold milk.
  2. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to thicken.

Step 2 – Make the Cheesecake Filling

  1. In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
  2. Gently fold the prepared banana pudding into the cream cheese mixture until combined.
  3. Chill in the fridge for 10 minutes for firmness.

Step 3 – Assemble the Cones

  1. Line each waffle cone with a thin layer of crushed vanilla wafers (this helps absorb moisture and keeps cones crisp).
  2. Spoon or pipe in a layer of cheesecake-banana mixture.
  3. Add a few banana slices and a sprinkle of crushed wafers.
  4. Repeat layers until the cone is full.

Step 4 – Top It Off

  1. Finish with a swirl of whipped cream on top.
  2. Garnish with a whole vanilla wafer, banana slice, or a drizzle of caramel.

📜 History & Formation

Banana pudding is a Southern classic in the U.S., often served layered in a trifle dish with pudding, bananas, and Nilla wafers. Cheesecake, on the other hand, has roots tracing back to ancient Greece but became an American staple thanks to New York–style cheesecake. Combining these two beloved desserts into a cone format is a modern twist that makes them portable, fun, and Instagram-worthy!

💕 Lovers & Methods

  • For lovers of tradition: Keep the recipe classic with bananas, wafers, and pudding.
  • For chocolate lovers: Add chocolate drizzle or mini chocolate chips between layers.
  • For caramel lovers: Swirl caramel sauce into the cheesecake-pudding mixture.
  • For fruit lovers: Try mixing in strawberries or pineapple with the bananas.

🎉 Conclusion

These Banana Pudding Cheesecake Cones are creamy, crunchy, and utterly indulgent. They’re a playful way to serve a Southern classic with cheesecake richness—perfect for birthdays, potlucks, or a cozy dessert night. Handheld, portable, and customizable, they bring joy to every bite.

👉 If you love making Death by Chocolate Dump Cake or your Cloud Cakes, this is another “easy but looks fancy” recipe you’ll want to add to your dessert list!

Would you like me to also create a layer variation (like a trifle jar version) for times when you don’t want to use cones, so the filling can be made ahead and stored?
