BANANA PUDDING COOKIE BUTTER CHEESECAKE

Description

Banana Pudding Cookie Butter Cheesecake is a decadent fusion of two beloved desserts that brings a modern twist to the traditional flavors of Southern banana pudding and the richness of cookie butter cheesecake.

Whether served at a family gathering or for an indulgent evening treat, this cheesecake is sure to captivate your taste buds with its irresistible charm.

Ingredients

Preparation Method

Prepare the Crust: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine the crushed cookie butter cookies with melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a greased 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.

Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add in the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, making sure to mix thoroughly after each addition. Finally, fold in the cookie butter spread. Pour the filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top.

Bake the Cheesecake: Place the cheesecake in the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the center is set. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely before refrigerating for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight) to fully set.

Prepare the Banana Pudding: In a separate bowl, whisk together the instant banana pudding mix and cold milk until thickened. Once the cheesecake has chilled, spread the banana pudding over the top. Layer the sliced bananas evenly on top of the pudding.

Add the Final Touches: Just before serving, dollop whipped cream over the top of the pudding layer, and sprinkle with extra cookie crumbs for garnish.

Tips and Conclusion

For an extra punch of flavor, consider adding a drizzle of caramel sauce between the banana pudding layer and the cheesecake. The sweet, buttery caramel complements the richness of the cookie butter and the tropical flavor of the bananas, creating a luxurious taste experience with every bite.

Banana Pudding Cookie Butter Cheesecake is the perfect dessert for anyone who loves layers of flavor and texture. The combination of the rich, creamy cheesecake and the refreshing banana pudding makes each bite feel like a celebration. The cookie butter crust and topping add a delightful crunch, balancing the smoothness of the cheesecake filling. This recipe is not only a crowd-pleaser but also a beautiful dessert to present at gatherings. With a little patience, this cheesecake transforms into a showstopping centerpiece for any dessert table.
