Ingredients

Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups crushed graham crackers
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup melted butter

Filling

  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2–3 medium ripe bananas, sliced
  • 1 cup sour cream

Topping

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, combine crushed graham crackers, sugar, and melted butter. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of a springform pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes until the crust turns golden brown. Remove from oven and allow it to cool completely.
  2. Make the filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the sour cream and gently stir to combine. Carefully fold in the sliced bananas to maintain their shape.
  3. Assemble the cheesecake: Pour the cream cheese and banana filling over the cooled crust, spreading it evenly to cover the entire base.
  4. Prepare whipped cream topping: Whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold half of the whipped cream into the cheesecake filling to lighten it. Spread the remaining whipped cream over the top of the cheesecake as a decorative layer.
  5. Chill the cheesecake: Cover the assembled cheesecake with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least four hours or preferably overnight to allow it to set fully before serving.

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps in the filling.
  • Press the crust firmly to avoid crumbling when serving.
  • The cheesecake needs sufficient chilling time; do not skip the refrigeration step.
  • For easier slicing, run a knife along the springform pan edges before releasing.
