Ingredients

Scale

Cheesecake Filling

1 package vanilla pudding mix
2 cups milk
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups whipped topping

Other Ingredients

3 ripe bananas, sliced
12 waffle cones

Instructions

Prepare the pudding: In a bowl, whisk together the vanilla pudding mix and milk until the mixture is smooth and starts to thicken slightly.
Make the cream cheese base: In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until creamy and well combined.
Incorporate the whipped topping: Gently fold the whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated without deflating the topping.
Combine pudding and cheesecake mixture: Add the prepared pudding mixture to the cream cheese and whipped topping blend, mixing gently until smooth and consistent in texture.
Assemble the cones with bananas: Layer sliced bananas inside each waffle cone to create a base of fresh fruit.
Fill the cones: Spoon the banana pudding cheesecake mixture into each cone, filling them generously but without spilling.
Garnish and serve: Top each filled cone with a dollop of extra whipped topping and additional banana slices for garnish, then serve immediately or chill before serving for a cooler dessert.

Notes

Use ripe but firm bananas to prevent mushiness in the cones.
Chill the cones in the refrigerator for 15 minutes before serving if you prefer a colder dessert.
You can substitute the whipped topping with homemade whipped cream for a fresher taste.
For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free waffle cones.
These cones are best enjoyed the same day to prevent the waffle cones from becoming soggy.
