1. Make the Pudding Base:
   In a mixing bowl, whisk together the banana pudding mix and cold milk until smooth. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to thicken.

2. Whip the Cheesecake Mixture:
   In a separate large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until creamy and fluffy.

3. Combine & Fold:
   Add the thickened pudding to the cream cheese mixture and beat until smooth. Then gently fold in the whipped topping using a spatula to keep the texture light and airy.

4. Fill the Cones:
   Using a piping bag or spoon, fill each waffle cone generously with the banana cheesecake filling. You can swirl the filling to look like soft serve for extra flair.

5. Top It Off:
   Sprinkle crushed vanilla wafers over the top of each cone. Add banana slices or a small dollop of whipped cream if desired.

6. Chill Before Serving (Optional):
   For the best texture, chill the filled cones in the fridge for 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the filling to firm up.
