Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (8 oz/226 g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 bananas, sliced
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
- 1 box vanilla wafers or cookies of choice
- 1 box (5.1 oz/145 g) vanilla instant pudding mix
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 2 cups cold milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Crushed strawberry wafers (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Cream Cheese Preparation: Whisk cream cheese until smooth and lump-free, creating a silky foundation for the dessert.
- Sugar Integration: Blend powdered sugar and vanilla extract into the cream cheese, mixing until achieving a consistent, luxurious texture.
- Cream Whipping: Vigorously whip heavy cream to form sturdy peaks, then gently fold into the cream cheese mixture to maintain a light, airy consistency.
- Pudding Creation: Combine vanilla instant pudding mix with cold milk, whisking energetically for two minutes until the mixture thickens and smooths out.
- Dessert Assembly: Layer vanilla wafers as the base in serving dishes, then strategically arrange sliced bananas and chopped strawberries to create a vibrant fruit foundation.
- Layering Technique: Carefully spread cheesecake mixture over the fruit, followed by an even layer of prepared vanilla pudding, repeating the process until all ingredients are elegantly incorporated.
- Final Touch: Refrigerate the dessert to allow flavors to meld and the layers to set, creating a chilled, decadent Strawberry Cheesecake Delight Pudding.
Notes
- Prevent Lumpy Texture: Whisk cream cheese thoroughly at room temperature to ensure a smooth, silky base without any unwanted cheese chunks.
- Stabilize Whipped Cream: Chill your mixing bowl and whisk beforehand to help heavy cream develop firmer, more stable peaks that won’t deflate quickly.
- Layer with Precision: Use a clear glass dish to showcase beautiful, distinct layers, creating a visually appealing dessert that’s as stunning as it is delicious.
- Chill for Enhanced Flavor: Refrigerate the dessert for at least 2 hours before serving to allow flavors to meld and develop a richer, more cohesive taste profile.
