Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and prepare a 9×9-inch baking dish by lining it with parchment paper.
  2. Combine crushed vanilla wafer cookies with melted unsalted butter in a mixing bowl, then press into the bottom of the baking dish to form a crust.
  3. Beat softened cream cheese with granulated sugar until creamy, then mix in large eggs one at a time.
  4. Fold in mashed ripe bananas into the cream cheese mixture, then spread this evenly over the crust.
  5. Whisk instant banana pudding mix with cold milk until it thickens, then pour this over the cheesecake filling.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes until set.
  7. Allow the dish to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  8. Top with whipped topping, slice, and serve chilled.
