Ingredients
Scale
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 large egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 12 sugar cones
- 1 cup whipped cream (for topping)
- 1 banana, sliced (for garnish)
- Crushed vanilla wafers (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Make sure there are no lumps.
- Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Continue to mix until well combined and fluffy, about another 2 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
- Once combined, add the mashed bananas and fold gently until evenly distributed.
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the whole milk, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until well beaten. Gradually add a small amount of the milk mixture to the egg yolks, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.
- Pour the tempered egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining milk mixture. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened and bubbling, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in the butter and vanilla extract until fully melted and combined.
- Transfer the banana pudding to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap pressed onto the surface, and let cool to room temperature. Refrigerate until chilled, about 1-2 hours.
- Once the cheesecake filling and banana pudding are chilled, take a sugar cone and place it upright in a cup or cone holder.
- Fill the bottom of the cone with a layer of cheesecake filling.
- Add a layer of banana pudding on top of the cheesecake filling.
- Repeat the layers until reaching the top of the cone, finishing with cheesecake filling.
- Top each cone with a generous dollop of whipped cream.
- Garnish with banana slices and a sprinkle of crushed vanilla wafers.
Notes
- For a lighter version, you can use low-fat cream cheese and whipped topping.
- Feel free to adjust the number of layers in each cone based on your preference.
- These cones are best enjoyed the same day they are assembled for optimal crunchiness.
