Cheesecake Banana Pudding Bites

Step 2: Make the Banana Pudding

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together instant pudding mix and milk until smooth.
2. Slice the bananas into thin rounds.
3. Place a few banana slices on each crust, then spoon a small layer of pudding over the bananas. Ensure each bite has a balanced layer of banana and pudding.

Step 3: Prepare the Cheesecake Layer

1. In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
2. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
3. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until light and fluffy. This creates a smooth, airy cheesecake layer.
4. Spoon or pipe the cheesecake mixture over the banana pudding layer in each mini bite.

Step 4: Add the Finishing Touch

1. Top each bite with a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
2. Sprinkle crushed graham crackers or cookie crumbs for added crunch.
3. Garnish with a small slice of banana on top for visual appeal.

Step 5: Chill and Serve

1. Refrigerate the bites for at least 1–2 hours to allow the layers to set and the flavors to meld together.
2. Serve chilled and enjoy the creamy, sweet, and slightly crunchy experience of these miniature desserts.
