Graham crackers: You can use a food processor to create your crumbs easily. Or, put them in a ziplock bag and roll over them with a rolling pin until they are crushed. My kids love helping with that! Brown sugar: This sweetens up the graham crackers. Butter: Use salted butter for this part of the recipe. Cream cheese: Soften this up to room temperature before mixing it in. Banana Cream Pudding Mix: Use instant pudding. This gives you that classic banana cream flavor. Sour cream: This adds the best creamy texture and tangy flavor. Powdered sugar: Sweetens and dissolves so nicely into the filling. Vanilla extract: Enhances all of the sweet flavors used in this recipe. Heavy whipping cream: 40% fat is best if you can get that! Bananas: I sliced these and used them in the cheesecake and as a garnish on top.

Let’s Make a (No-bake!) Cheesecake

This banana cream cheesecake recipe only takes about 20 minutes to put together. The rest of the time is waiting for it to chill. This makes it a great option to make ahead of time for a party or get-together!

Sauce: You can drizzle some sauce onto your banana cream pie. Try out this caramel sauce or chocolate sauce. Filling: You can add a few more things to this filling to give it texture, flavor, and color. My kids love sprinkles, mini chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, or toffee bits! Topping: Not only can you add all sorts of things to the filling but also different toppings to the top! Sliced almonds not only look gorgeous, but they taste delicious, too. Vanilla wafers go well with banana cream desserts. You could top it with whole or crushed nilla wafers. Time-Saving Tips: You can use a store-bought crust instead of making one. You can also use Cool Whip instead of whipping cream to save time.
