Cheesecake Pudding Mix:

  • This mix is used to get a cheesecake taste without using cream cheese.

Whipped Topping:

  • Whipped topping helps ensure that the cake remains soft and easy to eat.

Banana:

  • Banana gives the pudding a natural sweet flavor and a typical banana pudding taste.

Strawberries:

  • Give the cheesecake a new touch and work well with its flavor.

Vanilla Wafers:

  • Crush Vanilla Wafers on your own to decide how many you want for crunch and layering.

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Mix the pudding powder with the cold milk for 2 minutes in a mixing bowl until you feel the mixture beginning to thicken.
  2. Mix the yogurt carefully into the batter so it becomes smooth. Next, add the whipped topping to the mixture and use a spatula to mix it so it becomes light and fluffy.
  3. Wash the banana and cut off the peel, then slice the fruit. Remove the strawberries from the bowl and chop them into tiny fragments.
  4. Set up the dish by crushing the vanilla wafers, spooning the pudding over, and finishing with the sliced bananas and chopped strawberries.

TIPS:

  • To make it tastier, drizzle some sugar-free strawberry syrup over your dessert.
  • To keep the bananas from browning while they are being prepared, lightly drizzle them with lemon juice.
  • Make the dessert in mason jars for each person so they are easier to serve and store.
  • Vanilla wafers are key, but if you don’t have them, due to their high point value, either use or remove the popcorn.
  • Allow the yogurt to chill overnight to taste better and get a thicker texture.
