Instructions:

1️⃣ Prepare the Cheesecake Layer:

In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

Gently fold in the whipped cream. Set aside.

2️⃣ Make the Banana Pudding Layer:

In another bowl, whisk together the cold milk and banana pudding mix until thickened (about 2 minutes).

Fold in the whipped cream to create a light, mousse-like texture. Set aside.

3️⃣ Prepare the Strawberry Layer:

In a small bowl, mix the diced strawberries with sugar and lemon juice. Let sit for a few minutes until they release their juices.

4️⃣ Make the Crust Layer:

Combine crushed shortbread cookies (or graham crackers) with melted butter in a bowl, mixing until evenly combined.

5️⃣ Assemble the Dessert Cups:

In clear dessert cups, start by adding a layer of the cookie crust, pressing it down slightly.

Layer with the cheesecake mixture, followed by a spoonful of the strawberry mixture, and a layer of banana pudding.

Repeat layers if desired, until the cup is filled.

6️⃣ Top and Garnish:

Add a dollop of whipped cream, then garnish with fresh strawberry slices, banana slices, and extra crushed cookies.

7️⃣ Chill and Serve:

Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the layers to set.

✨ Serve and enjoy each deliciously layered bite of cheesecake, banana pudding, and fresh strawberries! 😊🍓🍌
