These Banana Pudding Cheesecake Cones are not just a treat for the taste buds but also a visually appealing dessert that's sure to make a statement at your next event. With layers of rich cheesecake and banana pudding nestled in crispy waffle cones, each bite is a perfect blend of texture and flavor.

Here’s how you can whip up these delightful cones, with tips to make sure they turn out perfectly every time.

Pro Tips for the Perfect Cheesecake Cones:

1. Cream Cheese Consistency: Ensure your cream cheese is softened to room temperature to achieve a smooth, lump-free cheesecake filling.
2. Gentle Folding: Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture gently to keep the mixture light and airy.
3. Prevent Soggy Cones: To keep your waffle cones from getting soggy, coat the inside lightly with melted chocolate before filling them; this creates a barrier against moisture.
4. Optimal Chilling Time: Allow the filled cones to chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to help set the cheesecake filling, making it easier to handle and serve.
5. Fresh Banana Garnish: Add the banana slices right before serving to prevent them from browning and to keep them fresh and appealing.

• ½ cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 ripe bananas, mashed
