This Strawberry Cheesecake Banana Pudding is a beautiful, no-bake combination of two classic desserts. Layers of smooth vanilla pudding and fresh bananas are paired with juicy strawberries and a rich, fluffy cheesecake mousse, creating a dessert that feels far more indulgent than traditional banana pudding. The real “magic” happens while it chills in the refrigerator, allowing the vanilla wafers to soften into a tender, cake-like texture.
