Banana Pudding Cheesecake Blondies: A banana blondie crust gets topped with creamy banana pudding cheesecake creating one of the most delicious cheesecake recipes ever!
My schedule has been a bit wonky. I barely feel like I know what day it is or what deadlines and due dates I should be remembering. I realized that I felt out of sorts because I hadn’t done any real soul baking lately. I missed it. I needed it.
So I eased myself back in the game with these banana pudding cheesecake blondies. 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.
Instead I added a simple banana pudding no bake cheesecake filling to the top. The banana flavor in this bar recipe is double packed perfection. Both the crust and the topping blend together so flawlessly that I am wondering if they were always meant to be together. This is seriously one of my favorite no bake cheesecake recipes ever. This is no regular banana cheesecake, this is beyond that.

I hear you about soul baking. Whenever I’ve lost my mojo, I just try to recreate the excitement I feel when I go out and about and see other people’s creations. That usually helps!
Whatever you did sure worked, because these look so amazing! I love cheesecake bars, and the banana through it all is great!
Thank you so much Mir! We all need a little soul baking from time to time right?
do u prepare the pudding or just mix the powder with cream cheese and condensed milk?
Just mix it in.
I LOVE COOKIES SO MY FIRST THING I WILL BAKE IS SEVERAL KINDS OF COOKIES.
I adore cookies too!
Awh, J!!! These are gorgeous!!!! love!
Thank you boo!
I would definitely go for some cheesecake!
Cheesecake is necessary!
These look sooooo gooooood! I’ll be making this sometime this week.
Oh yeah!!
These are perfection! I love banana pudding and to see it in a cheesecake bar just makes my day! Pinning over and over again!
Thank you so much Jen!
Mines been in the freezer for around 4 hours how firm should it be? It’s still tacky on the top. Also after it gets firm do I store it in the fridge?
Hi Heather, I would give it a bit more time to solidify to make sure it gets very solid. You can store in either the freezer or the fridge if you want it to be looser. I hope it worked out.
Definitely a perfect food. No need to enter me in the giveaway, but I had to chime in about the beauty of these bars.
Thanks boo!
Girl, what a way to get back into soul baking. I can just taste the banana in my mouth! Can’t wait to see what you make next 🙂
Hahaha! I can taste the banana again too!
It might sound lame, but I think I’d go for some good ol’ fashioned Chocolate Chip cookies first. Can’t beat a classic!
Nope not lame at all. Necessary!
Read this recipe over several times and either I have missed it or I need another pot of coffee, but the instructions say nothing about what to do with the whipping cream after you’ve beat it and chilled it. I’ m guessing I should fold it into the cream cheese mixture before I pour it over the cooled crust.
Thanks so much Betsy! Yes the recipe has been updated now. Thank you for seeing that.
My goodness, I love banana pudding and these cheesecake blondies are perfection! I love using my KitchenAid hand mixer too!
Thank you Ashley!

Chocolate chip cookies, then those amazing looking bars
These Banana Pudding Cheesecake Blondies look possible, but I’d let my 8yo DD decide since she’s always asking to bake something. She made a spice cake a couple weeks ago and was so proud of herself (she did everything but put in and take out of the oven).
I would try out some new recipes for a wedding cake order!
Hmm first thing I would make would be in singers. Nice citrus flavor for the spring/summer season. My soul coming always leads me to pound cake. My family knows when a phone cake is in the oven mommy has been doing some thinking.
It looks amazing! I might tweak it and try it with another fruit…
Wow, these look beautiful, and delicious! I really love your blog.
If I were lucky enough to win, I would first make lemon gooey butter cookies for my boys. They really love them!

I can’t wait! I tried a sweet potato cheesecake with ginger snap crust and it was delicious. I am no longer intimidated by cheesecake. Glad you had a recipe pop up in the search engine 🙂 oh if I want to use a 13×9 pan how would I change the measurements…double them? Or am I better off buying another 8×8 pan?

I have been craving banana pudding lately, and now I am craving banana pudding cheesecake – these look incredible Jocelyn
I served this at a church social tonight. My husband loved them. The flavor reminded him of banana Laffy Taffy, one of his favorites. I doubled the recipe and they turned out pretty and yummy! Thanks for posting.
Hooray Christine! I’m so glad you enjoyed them! They are great for doubling too!
Hi Jocelyn
Can this recipe be made a day or two inadvanced, if so do I let it thaw out before I cut it into squares. For the nonstick method can I use parchment paper. Thanks
Hello, Enter me in the blender cookware contest. I will make these recipes you offer or share them.
My mom always used coconut cream pudding and sliced bananas in a pie… I was thinking that I’d try the coconut pudding instead, then having the banana in the crust would be like a salute to mom’s delicious pie!
I made this over the weekend and it is such a great recipe. I will make it again. the 8 x8 pan made more than I expected.
Hooray so glad to read this, and so glad you enjoyed!
Being diabetic is there a substitute for the sweetened condensed milk to use?
Hi Pete, I’m actually not familiar with a substitute for that but I have seen ways you can make your own sweetened condensed milk online so you could probably make your own using a safe sweetener that works for your diet. Sorry if this doesn’t help too much.
Hi!! I want to make the banana cheesecake bars but I want to make an actual cheesecake how should I increase the recipe ? I was just going to experiment since I need to be more creative but I want to get it right lol!
Maybe try doubling it? Honestly not quite sure Adrienne since I haven’t done that but I’m sure you can do it!!
Hi, I see powdered sugar listed in two separate steps but in the ingredient list only once. Is it 2 tsp for the whipped cream and another 2 for the cream cheese mixture? Thanks!
Hi Erin,
Sorry about that, the information has been changed in the directions. I think there was a small typo.
These are beautiful! Yum!
Whoa girl! You nailed it with the blondie crust. 🙂 🙂 Well done! Looks great!
I tried this recipe for the first time last week and it is excellent! My family really enjoyed it. I’m so glad I found this site and can’t wait to try more recipes.
Hooray so glad you enjoyed it!
These look so yummy!
I MUST try these soon!
Wow, these look awesome!
Thanks so much!!
Thank you for this recipe I made it with my girlfriend and it was our first ever and it came out delicious!
hooray! I’m so so glad you enjoyed it!
My husband is incarcerated and they will not let him have fresh fruit and he loves banana pudding and he loves cheesecake so I’m going to make this for him and just leave off the slice bananas for decoration, he’s going to love it I already know it. Ty!
Oh wonderful! I hope he enjoys it Mary!
