How to Make Banana Pudding Cheesecake Squares :

Step 1

Prepare the crust: preheat your oven to 350°F “175°C”: in a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9×9 inch baking pan. Bake for 8–10 minutes until lightly golden. Let it cool while preparing the cheesecake layer.

Step 2

Make the cheesecake layer: in a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract. Pour the cheesecake mixture over the cooled crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 20–25 minutes until set. Allow it to cool completely.

Step 3

Prepare the banana pudding layer: in a medium bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding and cold milk for 2 minutes until thickened. Let it sit for a few minutes to firm up slightly.

Layer sliced bananas over the cooled cheesecake, then pour the pudding evenly on top, spreading gently and add toppings : spread whipped cream over the pudding layer and sprinkle crushed vanilla wafers or cookies on top for added crunch then chill: refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until fully set. Cut into squares and serve.
