🥘 Ingredients

For the Nilla Wafer Crust

1 ½ cups crushed Nilla Wafers
5 tablespoons melted butter
2 tablespoons granulated sugar

For the Cheesecake Filling

8 oz cream cheese, softened
½ cup granulated sugar
1 cup cold heavy whipping cream
1 cup prepared banana pudding (instant pudding works great)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ripe bananas, sliced

Optional Toppings

Whipped cream
Extra Nilla Wafers
Caramel drizzle
Banana slices (add right before serving)

🥣🔥 Instructions / Methods

1. Prepare the Crust

Combine crushed Nilla Wafers, melted butter, and sugar in a bowl.
Mix until the crumbs are coated and resemble wet sand.
Press firmly into the bottom of an 8×8 or 9×9 baking dish.
Chill for 10–15 minutes to help set the crust.

2. Make the Cheesecake Filling

In a bowl, beat softened cream cheese until light and smooth.
Add sugar and vanilla extract; beat again until creamy.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
Fold in the prepared banana pudding until fully combined and silky.

3. Assemble the Layers

Add a layer of sliced bananas directly on top of the chilled crust.
Spread the banana cheesecake filling evenly over the banana layer.
Smooth the top with a spatula.

4. Chill

Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for the firmest, creamiest texture.

5. Serve

Slice into bars and top with:

Whipped cream
Extra Nilla Wafers
Banana slices
Caramel or vanilla drizzle

Enjoy cold for the best flavor and texture!

📜 History

Banana pudding is a beloved Southern classic, dating back to the late 19th century when bananas became widely available in the U.S. Combined with vanilla wafers and custard, it became the ultimate comfort dessert.

Cheesecake, meanwhile, has ancient roots but evolved into the creamy American-style cheesecake we know today.

These bars blend the two traditions — the nostalgia of banana pudding with the richness of cheesecake — creating a dessert that honors both history and Southern sweetness.

🔬 Formation: Why This Recipe Works

1. Nilla Wafer Crust

Adds crunch, vanilla flavor, and structure.

2. Softened Cream Cheese

Ensures a smooth, lump-free base.

3. Whipped Heavy Cream

Lightens the filling, making it mousse-like instead of dense.

4. Chilling Time

Allows the fats to firm up, giving perfect sliceable bars.

5. Bananas Between Layers

Keeps bananas fresh and prevents sogginess in the filling.

❤️ For the Lovers

Cream Lovers

Pipe whipped cream swirls over each bar.

Caramel Lovers

Drizzle salted caramel over the bars before serving.

Add mini chocolate chips to the filling or drizzle melted chocolate.

Use banana cream pudding or vanilla pudding extra thick.
