Instructions

- Make the filling. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy.
- Add the banana. Mix in the mashed ripe bananas until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Fold in the whipped cream. Gently fold the whipped cream into the banana-cream cheese mixture until light and fluffy, being careful not to deflate it too much.

- Chill. Refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours, or overnight for the best texture, before slicing and serving.
