🍦 Banana Pudding Cheesecake Cones 🍌
Ingredients (Makes 12 servings)
For the Banana Cheesecake Filling:
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 cup sour cream
1 cup heavy whipping cream
½ cup mashed ripe banana (about 2 medium bananas)
½ cup crushed vanilla wafers
For Assembly:
12 waffle cones
2 ripe bananas, sliced (for topping)
Whipped cream (store-bought or homemade)
Extra crushed vanilla wafers (for garnish)
Instructions
Beat the Cream Cheese:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
Add Sugar and Vanilla:
Gradually mix in the granulated sugar and vanilla extract. Continue beating until fully combined and light in texture.
Incorporate Sour Cream and Heavy Cream:
Add the sour cream and heavy whipping cream to the mixture. Blend until smooth and well incorporated.
Fold in Banana and Crunch:
Gently fold in the mashed banana and crushed vanilla wafers using a spatula until evenly distributed.
Chill the Mixture:
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the mixture to firm up slightly, making it easier to pipe or spoon into cones.
Fill the Waffle Cones:
Once chilled, spoon or pipe the cheesecake mixture into each waffle cone, filling about ¾ full to leave room for toppings.
Top with Freshness and Flair:
Add a small dollop of whipped cream on top of each cone, followed by a few banana slices and a sprinkle of crushed vanilla wafers.
Serve Immediately:
Enjoy your cones right away while cold and crisp for the best texture and flavor.
