Banana Pudding Cheesecake Tres Leches – A creamy fusion of three desserts in one!

Ingredients:
For the Cake:
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
– ¼ teaspoon salt
– 5 large eggs, separated
– 1 cup granulated sugar, divided
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/3 cup whole milk

For the Milk Mixture:
– 1 cup whole milk
– 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
– 1 cup evaporated milk

For the Cheesecake Layer:
– 16 oz cream cheese, softened
– ½ cup granulated sugar
– 2 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Topping:
– 2 large ripe bananas, sliced
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– Vanilla wafer cookies, for garnish

Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, beat the egg yolks and ¾ cup of sugar together until pale and fluffy. Stir in the vanilla extract and milk. Fold the dry ingredients into the yolk mixture.
4. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add the remaining ¼ cup sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the cake batter.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool.
6. For the milk mixture, whisk together the whole milk, sweetened condensed milk, and evaporated milk. Poke holes all over the cooled cake and slowly pour the milk mixture over it. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
7. For the cheesecake layer, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract. Pour the cheesecake mixture over the cooled cake and bake at 325°F (160°C) for 30 minutes, or until set. Let cool completely.
8. For the topping, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until stiff peaks form. Spread the whipped cream over the cheesecake layer. Garnish with sliced bananas and vanilla wafer cookies before serving.
