Banana pudding is already in its own world, but banana pudding cheesecake bars sound even better. This recipe by SoulfulT on YouTube shows how to make a southern homemade dessert that requires no baking. I love banana pudding so it’d be interesting to have a dessert that is a combination of the two. Banana pudding has a more fluffy consistency where cheesecake is more wholesome. The two flavors would pair well, and I think it might make me like cheesecake even more. The idea of having these in bar form makes it easier to eat too.

- 1 (8 oz) pack of softened cream cheese

Next, once the banana pudding cheesecake has been assembled and set in the freezer for 6 hours, cut them into squares. Top the cheesecake bars with a dot of cool whip, a slice of banana, and vanilla wafer cookies.
Overall, this banana pudding cheesecake bar recipe looks amazing and has a combination of 2 different kinds of desserts in one. They are easy and bite-size to eat which is a wholesome consistency where you can pick up to grab and eat. They are so cute and easy to make at home.
