A delightful fusion of classic cheesecake, ripe bananas, and a buttery graham cracker crust, topped with whipped cream.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup sliced bananas for garnish
  • Whipped cream for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are fully coated, then press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan to form the crust.
  2. Beat the softened cream cheese with granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  3. Add the mashed bananas and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture, and mix until well incorporated.
  4. Whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  5. Fold the whipped cream into the banana cream cheese mixture, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
  6. Pour the creamy cheesecake mixture over the prepared graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
  8. Cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
  9. Top with sliced bananas and a generous dollop of whipped cream before serving.

Notes

Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for easy blending. To prevent cracks, don’t overbake; the center should still jiggle slightly.
