Ingredients

The Crust

• 1 2/3 Cups Nilla Wafers
• 2 TBSP Sugar
• 6 Tbsp Unsalted Melted Butter

No Bake Filling

• 6oz Room Temp Cream Cheese
• 1 1/4 Cups Heavy Whipping Cream
• 1/3 Cup + 1 Tbsp
• 1 Tsp Vanilla

Banana Pudding

• One Banana Pudding Box follow directions.

Instructions

1. Prepare 9' Tart pan with non stick spray.
2. In a bowl combine the cookie crumbs and sugar give it a good mix. Add melted butter and combine. The mixture will be a little wet and crumbly. Spread evenly around tart pan and press it down and to the sides until its firm and smooth.
3. Place the tart pan on top of a cookie sheet or large plate to hold in place and refrigerate while you make your filling.
4. In a stand mixer with a whisk attachment place the cream cheese, heavy whipping cream, sugar and vanilla and beat on low speed until it begins to mix. Once the mixture begins to thicken bring speed up to Med-High and continue to whisk until it is fluffy. Do not over mix.
5. Spread the cheesecake filling evenly around the crust.
6. Make the pudding mix per box instructions. Once its thick cut banana slices and place on top of the cheesecake.
7. Next, pour about 3/4 of the pudding mix on top and spead evenly.
8. Add marshmallows to the top and very carefully toast the marshmallows blowing them off if they begin to burn or catch a flame you can also skip this part if you just want to add marshmallows or even some marshmallow cream on top.
9. Allow cheesecake to set for 1-2 hours.

TIPS

1. The cream cheese should only be allowed to room temp for about 30-45 mins depending on the temp of your home. It should be soft but still have a cool temperature. It is important to allow to soften if not it will not mix well and you will have an unpleasant lumpy mixture.
2. It takes about 1-2 minutes for the mixture to get to its desired consistency. If you over beat it can get a buttery like texture. It needs to be smooth and have medium peaks where its fluffy but you’re able to pipe with the mixture.
3. When ever using a torch be very careful and vigilant of where and how you are using it and always do it with adult supervision.
