• Using an electric mixer, whisk cream cheese until you get a fluffy mixture without clumps. Next, apply sugar and beat all over again until incorporated. Pour heavy cream and vanilla extract and whisk until stiff peaks form; leave aside.
• In a medium bowl, beat together milk and pudding. Refrigerate for 3 minutes until thickened. Then, remove and fold in the cheesecake mixture and whisk until combined.
• Spread ½ of the filling into crust. Arrange a single layer of banana slices and wafers, then spread over remaining ½ of the mixture. Using a spatula, smooth the top and place in the freezer for 2-3 hours to firm. Then, transfer and keep in the fridge.
• Before serving, top with dollops of whipped topping/cream, banana slices, and/or wafers (if desired). Slice and serve.

Enjoy!
