I could have given you one of any cheesecake recipes but I decided to hook you up with this. The blondie bottom is flavored with mashed bananas. I seriously could have made a batch of these perfectly chewy and full flavored blondies and ate them warm out of the oven because they are that good but I didn’t stop there.
Key Ingredients
Blondie Crust Ingredients:
- Melted unsalted butter, because everything’s better with butter.
- Packed light brown sugar for a touch of molasses magic.
- A large egg yolk – the golden ticket to richness.
- All-purpose flour to hold all that goodness together.
- Just a pinch of salt to make all the flavors pop.
- Mashed ripe banana for that creamy, dreamy tropical twist.
- A splash of pure vanilla extract for that sweet aroma.
Cheesecake Topping Ingredients:
- Heavy whipped cream to bring the fluff and puff to the party.
- Cream cheese, not one but two blocks, because more is always better.
- Granulated sugar to sweeten up your life.
- Instant banana pudding powder to infuse that unmistakable banana charm.
- Milk to blend it all into creamy perfection.
- A teaspoon of vanilla extract for that kiss of vanilla love.
How to Make Banana Pudding Cheesecake
For the Blondie Crust:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and prepare a 8×8 baking pan with non-stick method of your choice.
- In a large bowl, whisk together butter and sugar until combined. Next whisk in the egg yolk, flour, salt, banana and vanilla until well combined.
- Add blondie batter to pan and bake for 15-20 minutes until just set.
- Cool to room temperature and prepare topping.
For the Cheesecake Topping:
- Using your hand mixer, whip heavy cream in a medium sized bowl until stiff peaks develop then refrigerate and clean beaters.
- In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese until nice and fluffy with hand mixer.
- Slowly add in the sugar, banana pudding powder, milk, and vanilla extract. Beat until well incorporated.
- Carefully fold pre-made whipped cream into the cream cheese batter.
- Taste and add a little powdered sugar if you prefer it a little sweeter.
- Pour and evenly spread cheesecake topping over blondie crust and freeze for at least 6 hours (overnight is best) or until completely firm.
- Garnish with nilla wafers and serve.

This is by far one of the best banana desserts I’ve had in long time. So full of banana flavor without it being overwhelming. The filling was light and creamy which went perfectly with the blondie crust. I will be making this all summer! Thank you!
Awe, thank you so much!! That means a lot!
This is the BEST recipe I’ve tried in a long time. My husband loves it!!!
Thanks so much, doll!
The dessert is full of banana flavor. The cheesecake is light and smooth. I added a little sourcream to the mix. It was a hit. This is a winner!!
Thank you so much, Rhonda!

It gives the ingredients but not the exact measurements for the recipe. Can you please provide the measurements of all the ingredients?
It absolutely shares the full ingredients. Please scroll to the bottom of the recipe for the full recipe card. Or at the top of the post, click jump to recipe.
Thank you so much for your response! It was amazing. I’m so sorry I didn’t check the full page out before commenting. Thank you so much!
Is there any substitute for the instant banana pudding? I don’t like the artificial banana flavoring and would really prefer some real banana in the filling. I’m guessing that it helps thicken the filling so maybe real banana puree + gelatin would work.
I didn’t test with your method but I do think it would definitely work. If you do make this sub, let me know how it turns out and exactly what you did so I can share with others. Thanks so much.
Can these be kept in the fridge overnight as well?
Yes, they store well in the fridge!
I gave this recipe 5 stars because this dessert was so easy to make and it taste absolutely delicious! It came out great! Jocelyn, Thank You so much for sharing this recipe. I will most definitely make this again and again. Have A Blessed Day!
