Directions
-
Begin by preparing the filling. In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until it is smooth and creamy. This step is crucial, as achieving a smooth texture is key to a successful cheesecake filling.
-
Gradually add the powdered sugar to the cream cheese while continuing to mix. The powdered sugar will sweeten your filling beautifully, enabling the rich flavors to shine through.
-
Add the vanilla extract and mix until everything is well combined. This will infuse the filling with a wonderful depth that complements the banana flavors.
-
In a separate bowl, pour in the heavy whipping cream. Whip it until stiff peaks form. This step is significant because it adds airiness to the filling, creating that perfect velvety texture.
-
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream—this will keep your cheesecake light and fluffy, enhancing the overall texture.
-
Next, prepare the banana pudding. In a clean bowl, mix the instant banana pudding with the cold milk according to the package instructions. Stir until the pudding thickens.
-
Once the pudding is ready, fold it into the cream cheese mixture until it is fully combined. This brings out the rich banana flavor and makes your filling truly irresistible.
-
Now it’s time to prepare the cones. In a bowl, combine the crushed vanilla wafer cookies with the melted butter. Stir until the cookies are evenly coated; this mixture will give a lovely crunch to your cones.
-
Take your waffle cones or sugar cones and start filling them with the cheesecake mixture. Use a spoon or a piping bag for ease, filling each cone generously.
-
After filling the cones, sprinkle the crushed cookie mixture on top of the filling, adding that desired texture and sweetness.
-
Serve the cones immediately for the best experience. Alternatively, you can refrigerate them until you’re ready to enjoy.
