A dreamy dessert mash-up! This Strawberry Cheesecake Banana Pudding combines the creamy richness of cheesecake, the sweet nostalgia of banana pudding, and the bright pop of fresh strawberries. Layers of love in every spoonful! 
Ingredients:
1 (8 oz) block cream cheese, softened
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
1 (5.1 oz) box instant vanilla pudding mix
2 cups cold milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups whipped topping (or whipped cream)
1 box vanilla wafers
4 ripe bananas, sliced
2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
Optional: crushed graham crackers for topping
Instructions:
Make the cheesecake pudding base:
In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth and fluffy (2–3 minutes). Add sweetened condensed milk, vanilla pudding mix, cold milk, and vanilla extract. Beat until well combined and smooth. Chill in the fridge for 10 minutes. 
(Prep & chill time: 15 minutes)
Fold in the whipped topping:
Gently fold in whipped topping until fully incorporated and light. This adds that dreamy, mousse-like texture! 
(Folding time: 2 minutes)
Layer the pudding:
In a 9×13 dish or trifle bowl, start with a layer of vanilla wafers. Add a layer of sliced bananas and strawberries. Spoon on a generous layer of the cheesecake pudding. Repeat layers until all ingredients are used, ending with pudding on top.
(Layering time: 10 minutes)
Chill and set:
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to let the flavors meld and the pudding set perfectly. Patience pays off! 
(Chill time: 4 hours)
Serve:
Top with extra strawberries, banana slices, and a sprinkle of crushed graham crackers if desired. Serve chilled and watch it disappear!
