Ingredients
Scale
240 g graham cracker crumbs
25 g granulated sugar
60 ml unsalted butter, melted
225 g cream cheese, softened
60 g powdered sugar
120 ml heavy cream
2.5 ml vanilla extract
120 ml vanilla pudding
1 ripe banana, sliced
32 g crushed Nilla wafers
Extra banana slices, for garnish
Instructions
In a bowl, thoroughly combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Distribute a small portion of the crust mixture into each bite-sized cup or silicone mold and press firmly to compact into an even base.
In a clean mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese and powdered sugar on medium speed until smooth with no lumps. Add heavy cream and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until the filling is light and mousse-like.
Spoon a thin layer of vanilla pudding over each prepared crust base in the molds.
Arrange banana slices over the pudding in each bite, ensuring even distribution.
Cover the banana pudding layer with the whipped cheesecake filling, smoothing to achieve a level top.
Gently press the set cheesecake bites into crushed Nilla wafers, ensuring the outer sides are evenly coated for crunch.
Refrigerate the assembled bites for a minimum of 2 hours or until the filling is completely firm.
Before serving, arrange extra banana slices on top of each bite for a fresh finish.
Notes
Make sure the cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps in the filling.
Refrigerating the bites longer enhances the firmness of the filling.
Use fresh bananas for the best flavor and presentation.
