Instructions

Prepare Banana Pudding: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the instant banana pudding mix and cold milk for about 2-3 minutes until thickened. Place it in the fridge to chill while you prepare the rest.
Make Cheesecake Mixture: In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the whipped topping until fully incorporated and fluffy.
Layer the Cones: Using a piping bag or a zip-top bag with a corner cut, pipe the cheesecake mixture into the bottom of each waffle cone. Then add a spoonful of the chilled banana pudding on top. Repeat the layers until the cone is full, leaving space to top with banana slices.
Add Garnishes: Top each cone with banana slices and a sprinkle of crushed vanilla wafers for texture and crunch. Optionally, drizzle caramel sauce over the top for added sweetness.
Chill Before Serving: Place the filled cones in the fridge for a quick chill to set and enhance the creamy texture before serving.

Notes

You can substitute the whipped topping with homemade whipped cream if preferred for a less processed option.
For an extra touch, adding caramel or chocolate drizzle enhances flavor and presentation.
Make these cones just before serving to preserve the crispness of the waffle cones.
Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 1 day; the cones may soften over time.
Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to blend smoothly without lumps.
