Instructions
Step 1: Make the Cheesecake Layer
In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the whipped cream or Cool Whip, taking care not to overmix so the texture stays light.
Step 2: Prepare the Pudding
In another bowl, whisk the instant pudding mix with the cold milk for about 2 minutes. Let it rest for 5 minutes until it thickens into a smooth, spreadable consistency.
Step 3: Assemble the Layers
