Description
A delightful and easy no-bake dessert combining creamy cookie butter cheesecake with layers of mashed bananas, crushed vanilla wafers, and whipped cream.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar, divided
- 1 cup cookie butter, divided
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, divided
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 cup heavy cream, very cold
- 1 cup crushed vanilla wafers
- 1/2 cup sliced bananas, for topping
Instructions
- In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 1/2 cup creamy cookie butter, and 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
- In a separate chilled bowl, pour the very cold heavy cream. Whip on medium-high speed until it begins to thicken. Gradually add the remaining 1/2 cup powdered sugar and 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract. Continue to beat until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overbeat.
- In a 9×13 inch pan or serving dish, spread half of the 1 cup crushed vanilla wafers evenly across the bottom. Top with the 2 ripe mashed bananas. Carefully spread the prepared cheesecake mixture over the mashed bananas. Layer with the remaining half of the crushed vanilla wafers. Top this layer with the whipped cream.
- Drizzle the remaining 1/2 cup cookie butter over the whipped cream. Arrange the 1/2 cup sliced bananas on top for garnish. Cover the dessert tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow it to firm up and flavors to meld.
- Slice and serve chilled for the best texture and flavor. Enjoy this easy banana pudding cookie butter cheesecake!
Notes
- Refrigerate overnight for best results.
- Use very cold heavy cream for better whipping.
