These no bake banana cream cheesecakes are sure to be as big of a hit in your house as they are in our home. We all love these tasty little desserts, including those of us that aren’t fond of cheesecake. The flavors in every cup are a perfect blend of flavors and textures that everyone can agree are worth savoring.

No bake cheesecakes

Unlike baked cheesecakes which require eggs and other products, no bake versions are far simpler and require a little mixing and chilling. No oven needed. Perfect for a chilly dessert on a hot day! The base of these cheesecakes is a blend of Cool Whip, cream cheese, and banana cream pudding mix which together give us the perfect flavor and richness in every bite.

Banana Cheesecake Ingredients

-Graham crackers: You will need ¾ cups of crushed graham cracker crumbs but they will be divided up into different serving containers. Alternatively, you could also use crushed Nilla Wafers if you don’t want graham crackers.

-Butter: 3 tablespoons of melted butter will help us coat the crumbs into a nicer tasting crust, much like a regular cheesecake crust.

-Cream cheese: For the cheesecake flavor we need a thawed 8 ounce brick of cream cheese, preferrably the lower-fat option.

-Pudding Mix: You need the dry mix from inside of a 5.1-ounce box of instant banana cream pudding.

-Milk: 1 ⅓ cups of cold milk are needed to help get the mixture to the perfect consisitnecy.

-Cool Whip: you’ll need one thawed 8 ounce container of Cool Whip.

-Optional Toppings: For fun and for garnish, you can top off your mini banana cheesecakes with more Cool Whip, nuts, graham cracker crumbs, or even sliced bananas, if desired.

How to make banana cream cheesecakes

Mix the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until they’re well incorporated. Divide between your 6 serving dishes evenly. Place the dishes in the freezer.

Whisk together the instant pudding mix and milk in a medium-sized bowl. Let the mix sit for 5 minutes.

Add the cream cheese and mix well. Fold in your whipped cream until well combined.

Remove your bowls from the freezer and spoon or pipe cream cheese mixture into each serving dish.

Place the filled bowls into the fridge for at least 2 hours, or overnight.

Garnish the top with optional toppings and serve. Enjoy!

Can I use homemade whipped cream instead?

Absolutely! If you want to make homemade whipped cream or have some already handy then go ahead and swap out the requested Cool Whip and use yours instead. Each 8 ounce tub of Cool Whip has about 3 cups of whipped topping inside so you’ll need 3 cups of homemade to do an even 1:1 ratio.

How long is banana cream cheesecakes good for?

These cheesecakes are best when eaten within 24-48 hours. Any longer than that and the crust will go from being soft to soggy and the ingredients could start separating. For best results make your mini no bake cheesecakes when you plan on eating them the same day or by the next day.
