  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese (softened)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 ripe bananas (mashed)
  • 1 (3.4 oz) package instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1.5 cups cold milk
  • 1.5 cups whipped cream
  • 2-3 fresh bananas (sliced)
  • q.s. extra whipped cream
  • q.s. graham cracker or vanilla wafer crumbs

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowls
  • Whisk
  • Spatula
  • 9-inch Springform Pan
  • Electric Mixer

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C) and prepare a greased 9-inch springform pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar; mix until it resembles wet sand.
  3. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of the springform pan and bake for 10 minutes. Let it cool.
  4. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
  5. Add the sour cream and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
  6. Incorporate the eggs one at a time, mixing just until combined; fold in the mashed bananas.
  7. Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust and tap the pan to remove air bubbles.
  8. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes until the edges are set and the center jiggles slightly.
  9. Turn off the oven, crack the door, and let the cheesecake cool inside for about an hour.
  10. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to fully set.
  11. For the pudding layer, whisk instant vanilla pudding mix with cold milk until thickened, then fold in whipped cream.
  12. Spread the pudding mixture evenly over the cheesecake layer and refrigerate for another hour to set.
  13. Before serving, garnish with fresh banana slices, whipped cream, and crumbs.
  14. You can customize by adding flavors like chocolate or peanut butter. Enjoy!

Notes

Room temperature ingredients ensure a smooth batter. Use ripe bananas for sweetness in the filling and slightly less ripe ones for garnish. Chill the cheesecake thoroughly for better texture and easier slicing. Add fresh banana slices right before serving to prevent browning. Enjoy!
