History

Cheesecake traces its roots back to Ancient Greece, where it was served to athletes during the first Olympic Games. Banana pudding, meanwhile, became a Southern classic in the U.S. during the early 20th century, symbolizing comfort and hospitality. By combining these two beloved desserts, we create a modern sweet that bridges cultures and eras—a true dessert lover’s fusion.


Formation

These bites are built in three luscious layers:

  1. Crunchy graham cracker crust (foundation).
  2. Creamy cheesecake layer (the heart).
  3. Banana pudding topping with fruit and cookies (the crown).

Each bite delivers a perfect balance of crunch, cream, and banana bliss.
