For the Cheesecake Topping:
Using your hand mixer, whip heavy cream in a medium sized bowl until stiff peaks develop then refrigerate and clean beaters.
In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese until nice and fluffy with hand mixer.
Slowly add in the sugar, banana pudding powder, milk, and vanilla extract. Beat until well incorporated.
Carefully fold pre-made whipped cream into the cream cheese batter.
