Instructions

Prepare the Banana Pudding: In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant banana pudding mix and cold milk for 2 minutes until the mixture thickens. Set aside.
Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a separate large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
Combine Pudding and Whipped Topping: Fold the prepared banana pudding and whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture gently until smooth and creamy, avoiding overmixing to maintain airiness.
Add Wafers and Bananas: Gently mix in half of the crushed vanilla wafers and a few banana slices, especially if you plan to serve immediately, to add texture and flavor.
Fill the Cones: Spoon or pipe the banana pudding cheesecake mixture into each waffle cone, filling to the top for a generous portion.
Garnish and Serve: Top each filled cone with a dollop of whipped topping, extra crushed vanilla wafers, and banana slices to enhance presentation and flavor.
Chill or Serve Immediately: For a creamy texture with crunch, serve the cones immediately. Alternatively, chill them upright in the refrigerator for 30 to 60 minutes to allow flavors to meld and firm up slightly.

Notes

Fill cones just before serving to prevent sogginess and maintain crispiness.
Use mini waffle cones for smaller, party-friendly portions or kid-sized treats.
For a firmer, ice cream-like dessert, freeze the filled cones before serving.
