Description
A creamy dessert that combines the flavors of banana cream pie with cheesecake, featuring a buttery graham cracker crust and topped with whipped cream.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 3/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 (8-ounce) package Cool Whip, thawed, divided
- 4 ripe bananas, sliced
- 1 3/4 cups milk
- 1 (3.4-ounce) package instant banana cream pie pudding mix
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan.
- In a bowl, mix the melted butter, graham cracker crumbs, and sugar together. Reserve 1/2 cup of this mixture for topping later.
- Press the remaining graham cracker mixture into the bottom of the pan and bake for 7 minutes. Once done, let it cool completely.
- Layer half of the sliced bananas on top of the cooled crust.
- In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Gently fold in 2 cups of Cool Whip, then spread this mixture over the banana layer.
- In another bowl, whisk together the milk and pudding mix until it starts to thicken. Now fold in the remaining Cool Whip and spread this over the cheesecake layer.
- Sprinkle the reserved graham cracker crumbs on top and refrigerate for at least 4 hours until set.
- Slice the cheesecake, serve chilled, and enjoy!
Notes
For added flavor, you can layer chocolate chips or caramel sauce. Use lemon juice on banana slices to prevent browning.
