Ingredients

Base

Cheesecake Filling

  • 2 8 oz Blocks cream cheese room temperature
  • ½ cup Sugar
  • 2 cups Heavy cream
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1 3.4 oz Packet instant vanilla pudding
  • cups milk
  • 5 large bananas sliced
  • 1 11 oz box Nilla wafers

Topping Ideas

  • whipped cream or Cool Whip
  • Nilla wafers crushed
  • banana slices

Instructions

  • In a medium mixing bowl, mix together all base ingredients until well combined.
  • Press into a rectangle baking dish (I used a 12x9 dish). Place in the freezer while preparing the filling.
  • Mix cream cheese and sugar until smooth using a stand mixer. Add the heavy cream and vanilla extract, whip until stiff peaks form.
  • In a separate bowl whisk together the vanilla pudding and milk, allow it to thicken for 10-15 minutes.
  • Gently fold the pudding mixture through the cream cheese mixture.
  • Pour half of the filling mixture over the prepared biscuit base.
  • Add a layer of sliced banana and Nilla wafers. Top with remaining filling and another layer of sliced bananas and wafers. Add a thin cheesecake layer on top, to cover the bananas (so they don't brown in the fridge).
  • Chill in the fridge, covered, for 2 hours or overnight.
  • To serve, top with whipped cream or Cool Whip, crushed Nilla wafers, and sliced bananas.

Notes

  • You can use either banana or vanilla instant pudding for the filling.
  • To make this recipe vegan friendly, substitute the dairy products for dairy free alternatives such as vegan butter, plant based milk and whipped coconut cream.
  • It's best to chill the lasagna overnight, allowing all of the flavors to infuse and taste amazing!
