Essential Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:
Vanilla Wafer Cookies: These add crunch and sweetness; crush them finely for a better texture in your cones.
Bananas: Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness; they should be slightly speckled but not overly mushy.
Cream Cheese: Ensure it’s softened for easy blending; this brings richness to your cheesecake filling.
Powdered Sugar: This sweetens the filling without the graininess of granulated sugar; adjust to taste.
Milk: Whole milk works best to create a creamy consistency; use less for thicker filling.
Whipped Cream: Freshly whipped cream adds lightness; fold it in gently to maintain fluffiness.
Ice Cream Cones: Choose sturdy cones that can hold all that delicious filling; sugar cones work great!
