Strawberry Banana Pudding Cheesecake Cups Recipe 🍓🍌🧁

Ingredients:

For the Cheesecake Layer:

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup heavy cream (for whipping)

1/2 cup banana pudding mix

1/2 cup milk

For the Strawberry Layer:

1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced

2 tablespoons sugar (optional, for macerating)

1 teaspoon lemon juice

For the Banana Layer:

2 ripe bananas, sliced

For the Crust:

1 cup graham cracker crumbs

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

2 tablespoons sugar

Directions:

Prepare the Crust:

In a bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until well combined.

Divide the mixture evenly among serving cups or jars, pressing it down firmly to form the crust layer.

Make the Cheesecake Layer:

In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.

Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.

In another bowl, whisk together the banana pudding mix and milk until smooth. Gently fold the pudding mixture into the cream cheese mixture.

In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the cheesecake mixture until fully incorporated.

Prepare the Strawberry Layer:

In a bowl, toss the sliced strawberries with sugar (if using) and lemon juice. Let them sit for about 10 minutes to macerate.

Assemble the Cups:

Spoon or pipe the cheesecake mixture over the crust layer in each cup.

Add a layer of sliced bananas on top of the cheesecake layer.

Follow with a layer of the macerated strawberries.

Chill:

Refrigerate the cups for at least 2-4 hours to allow the layers to set.

Serve:

Garnish with additional whipped cream, sliced bananas, and strawberries if desired.
