1 1/2 cups vanilla wafer crumbs (about 30 wafers)

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Cheesecake Filling:

16 oz cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 ripe banana, mashed

1 cup heavy whipping cream

2 tablespoons powdered sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Additional vanilla wafers and banana slices for garnish

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners.

In a medium bowl, mix the vanilla wafer crumbs and melted butter until well combined.

Press about 1 tablespoon of the crumb mixture into the bottom of each mini muffin cup to form the crust.

Bake the crusts for 5 minutes, then remove from the oven and let them cool while you prepare the filling.

In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy.

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Mix in the vanilla extract and mashed banana until well combined.

Spoon the cheesecake filling over the cooled crusts, filling each mini muffin cup almost to the top.

Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the centers are set and the edges are slightly puffed.

Remove the bites from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Prepare the Whipped Cream Topping:

In a cold mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until stiff peaks form.

Pipe or spoon a dollop of whipped cream on top of each cooled cheesecake bite.

Top each cheesecake bite with a slice of banana and a small vanilla wafer.

Chill the bites in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

These Banana Pudding Cheesecake Bites are a delightful treat that combines the best of banana pudding and cheesecake in one delicious, bite-sized package! Perfect for any occasion or just indulging your sweet tooth.
