Strawberry Cheesecake Banana Pudding

For best results, make sure your cream cheese is softened to room temperature before mixing to avoid lumps in the cheesecake layer.
If you don’t have vanilla wafers, you can use any other cookie or biscuit that you prefer. Shortbread, graham crackers, or even ladyfingers work well as substitutes.
This dessert can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 day before serving. It actually tastes better the longer it sits, as the layers have more time to meld together.
For a lighter version of this dessert, you can substitute the heavy whipping cream in the cheesecake layer with whipped topping or reduced-fat whipped cream. However, this may change the texture slightly.
