Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 cup banana pudding mix
  • 2 cups milk
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup whipped cream
  • 1 cup sliced bananas
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts optional

Method
 

  1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) to get things heated up for the crust.
  2. Prepare the Crust: In a large bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Once combined, press the mixture into the bottom of a springform pan.
  3. Bake the Crust: Bake the crust for 10 minutes in the preheated oven, then let it cool completely on a wire rack.
  4. Make the Banana Pudding: In a separate mixing bowl, combine the banana pudding mix with milk, whisking until it thickens.
  5. Cream Cheese Mixture: In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth. Gently fold in the whipped cream until well combined.
  6. Combine Mixtures: Pour the banana pudding into the cream cheese mixture, folding it gently until everything is well incorporated.
  7. Assemble the Layers: Layer the sliced bananas evenly over the cooled crust, and then pour the banana pudding mixture on top, spreading it evenly.
  8. Top It Off: Optionally, sprinkle chopped nuts over the top for that desired crunch factor!
  9. Chill: Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best results.
  10. Serve and Enjoy: Once set, slice and serve your Banana Pudding Crunch Cheesecake, and enjoy every creamy, crunchy bite!
