Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Mix wafer crumbs and butter for crust in a bowl until thoroughly combined. Press into a 9-inch pie plate and chill 8 hours to overnight.
Step 2
Beat cream cheese for filling in a large bowl with an electric mixer until fluffy. Beat in cold milk, condensed milk, pudding mix, and 1/2 of the whipped topping until smooth. Fold in remaining whipped topping.
Step 3
Remove chilled crust from the refrigerator and layer the bottom with 1/2 of the banana slices. Add 1/2 of the filling and spread with a spoon or cake spatula until smooth and bananas are covered. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup wafer crumbs. Place remaining banana slices over top and spread remaining filling over top to cover.
Step 4
Border the cheesecake all around the edges with wafer cookies and sprinkle 1/4 cup wafer crumbs in the center. Chill for 6 hours before serving.
