Banana Pudding Cheesecake Fluff
In a large mixing bowl, pour in the heavy whipping cream. Use an electric mixer or stand mixer to whip until stiff peaks form. This will give your fluff that airy, mousse-like texture. Be careful not to overbeat—stop when the cream holds its shape.
In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add in the sugar-free banana pudding mix and continue mixing until fully incorporated. The mixture will thicken slightly and take on a rich banana aroma.
Step 4: Fold Everything Together
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, a little at a time. Use a spatula to combine everything carefully so you don’t deflate the whipped cream. Continue folding until the mixture is evenly combined and fluffy.
Step 5: Chill and Serve
Transfer the Banana Pudding Cheesecake Fluff into a serving bowl or individual dessert cups. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld and the texture to set perfectly.
Tips for the Best Banana Pudding Cheesecake Fluff
- Make sure your cream cheese is soft before mixing; cold cream cheese will create lumps.
- Use cold heavy whipping cream for the best whipping results.
- Don’t skip the chilling step—it enhances the flavor and creaminess.
- For a sugar-free lifestyle, stick with the sugar-free pudding mix and skip extra sweeteners.
- If you want a richer flavor, add a splash of vanilla extract or a dollop of whipped topping before serving.
Optional Add-Ins and Variations
1. Crushed Vanilla Wafers
Add crushed vanilla wafers for a classic banana pudding feel. Sprinkle them on top just before serving to keep their crunch.
2. Fresh Bananas
Layer slices of fresh banana between the fluff or use them as a garnish. If you’re prepping in advance, brush banana slices with lemon juice to prevent browning.
3. Mini Cheesecake Layer
Create a crust by pressing crushed graham crackers or cookies into the bottom of cups or a baking dish, then spoon the fluff over it for a no-bake cheesecake variation.
4. Chocolate Twist
