Strawberry Crunch Banana Pudding Recipe 🍓🍌

This Strawberry Crunch Banana Pudding is a fun and delicious twist on the classic banana pudding, featuring layers of creamy banana pudding, fresh bananas, and a crunchy strawberry topping. Perfect for a crowd or a special treat!

Ingredients:
For the Banana Pudding:

1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup cornstarch
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 3/4 cups whole milk
4 large egg yolks
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Crunch Layer:

1 1/2 cups crushed strawberry-flavored cereal (such as Strawberry Crunch or similar)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
For Assembly:

4-5 ripe bananas, sliced
Whipped cream (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions:
Prepare the Banana Pudding:

In a medium saucepan, whisk together the granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt.
Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth.
Cook the mixture over medium heat, whisking constantly, until it begins to thicken and come to a boil.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Temper the egg yolks by gradually adding a few spoonfuls of the hot milk mixture to the yolks, whisking constantly.
Slowly pour the egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining pudding mixture, whisking continuously.
Continue to cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the pudding is thickened.
Remove from heat and stir in the butter and vanilla extract.
Transfer the pudding to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap (pressing it directly onto the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming), and let it cool to room temperature.
Prepare the Crunch Layer:

In a medium bowl, mix the crushed strawberry-flavored cereal with granulated sugar.
Stir in the melted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Set aside.
Assemble the Pudding:

In a trifle dish, large bowl, or individual serving glasses, spoon a layer of banana pudding into the bottom.
Add a layer of sliced bananas on top of the pudding.
Sprinkle a layer of the strawberry crunch mixture over the bananas.
Repeat the layers until the dish or glasses are filled, ending with a layer of the strawberry crunch topping.
Top and Garnish:

Spread a generous layer of whipped cream over the top of the pudding.
Garnish with additional slices of banana and a sprinkle of extra strawberry crunch if desired.
Serve and Enjoy:

Chill the banana pudding in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the pudding to set.
Serve chilled and enjoy the delicious combination of creamy banana pudding and crunchy strawberry goodness!
This Strawberry Crunch Banana Pudding combines the classic flavors of banana pudding with a delightful crunch, making it a fun and tasty dessert. Let me know if you need any more details or variations!

Banana Pudding Cheesecake 🍌🍰

Craving a dessert that combines the creamy richness of cheesecake with the classic flavors of banana pudding? This Banana Pudding Cheesecake is a perfect blend of both, offering a luscious, banana-filled treat with a crunchy cookie crust. It’s an indulgent twist on a beloved classic!

Ingredients:
For the Crust:

1 1/2 cups vanilla wafer crumbs (about 40-45 wafers, crushed)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
For the Banana Pudding Cheesecake Filling:

4 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup sour cream
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
4 large eggs
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup banana pudding mix (instant)
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 ripe bananas, mashed
For the Whipped Cream Topping:

1 cup heavy cream
2 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
Sliced bananas and extra vanilla wafers for garnish
Directions:
1. Prepare the Crust:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, combine the vanilla wafer crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.
Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool.
2. Make the Cheesecake Filling:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
Mix in the sour cream and flour until well combined.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating on low speed after each addition until just combined.
Stir in the banana pudding mix and vanilla extract.
Fold in the mashed bananas.
Pour the cheesecake batter over the cooled crust in the springform pan.
3. Bake the Cheesecake:
Place the springform pan in the preheated oven and bake at 325°F (163°C) for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are slightly puffed.
Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly open for 1 hour.
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
4. Prepare the Whipped Cream Topping:
In a medium bowl, beat the heavy cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
5. Finish and Serve:
Once the cheesecake is chilled and set, remove it from the springform pan.
Spread or pipe the whipped cream over the top of the cheesecake.
Garnish with sliced bananas and extra vanilla wafers for a classic touch.
Slice and enjoy!
