Prepare the cheesecake layer:
In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and beat until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until combined. Set aside.
Prepare the pudding layer:
In a bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk for about 2 minutes until thickened.
Set aside to allow it to firm up a bit.
Assemble the pudding:
In a serving dish or individual serving cups, layer the vanilla wafers at the bottom.
Add a layer of banana slices and fresh chopped strawberries over the cookies.
Spread a layer of the cheesecake mixture on top of the fruit.
Add a layer of vanilla pudding, smoothing it over the cheesecake layer.
Repeat the layers as needed, alternating between the fruit, cheesecake, and pudding.
