Ice Cream Cones: Any type works, but sugar cones provide an extra layer of sweetness and crunch.

Let’s Make it together
Create the Graham Cracker Crust: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until well combined. Press this mixture into the bottom of small cups if you’re not using cones.
Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In another bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add granulated sugar while mixing until creamy. This makes your cheesecake filling irresistibly smooth.
Add the Banana Pudding Mix: Whisk together instant banana pudding mix and milk in a separate bowl until thickened. Gently fold this into the cream cheese mixture until well combined for that rich banana flavor.
Incorporate Whipped Topping: Carefully fold in whipped topping into the banana cheesecake mixture until fully blended. This gives it that light, airy texture we love in desserts!
Assemble Your Cones: Start by scooping some cheesecake filling into each ice cream cone. Add sliced bananas on top before adding more filling to ensure every bite contains that delicious banana goodness.
Chill and Serve!: Refrigerate assembled cones for at least 30 minutes to set before serving. The chilling time allows all those flavors to meld beautifully together.
