Vanilla Extract: A splash enhances all the flavors beautifully—don’t skip this step!
Crushed Vanilla Wafers: For garnish and added texture; they mimic classic banana pudding toppings.

Let’s Make it together
Create the Cheesecake Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese with sweetened condensed milk until smooth. You want it to be silky without any lumps.
Add Flavoring Elements: Stir in the banana pudding mix and vanilla extract. Keep mixing until everything is well blended; your kitchen should smell like a dreamy dessert paradise.
Incorporate Bananas and Whipped Cream: Fold in sliced ripe bananas gently along with whipped cream until evenly distributed. Be careful not to deflate that lovely whipped cream; we want airy textures!
Fill Those Cones!: Using a piping bag or spoon, fill each graham cracker cone generously with your banana pudding cheesecake mixture. Make sure they’re packed nicely, so every bite is heavenly.
Top It Off!: Finish with a swirl of remaining whipped cream on top of each cone. Sprinkle crushed vanilla wafers over the whipped cream for an extra crunch.
Chill Before Serving: Place filled cones in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving. This allows everything to set up nicely so you get that perfect bite!
