  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs

  • 1/4 cup mashed ripe banana
  • 2–3 ripe bananas, sliced
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • Chocolate syrup for drizzling
  • Additional crushed vanilla wafers for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine crushed vanilla wafers or graham crackers and 1/4 cup sugar. Add melted butter and mix well, then press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes, then let it cool slightly.
  3. Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (160°C).
  4. In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese and 1/2 cup sugar until smooth.
  5. Beat in eggs one at a time. Stir in vanilla extract, sour cream, and mashed banana until just combined.
  6. Pour this cheesecake filling over the cooled crust.
  7. Bake for 45-55 minutes until the edges are set but the center jiggles slightly. Turn off the oven, prop the door open, and let it cool in the oven for 1 hour.
  8. Cool completely on a wire rack, cover, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  9. Before serving, toss banana slices with lemon juice and arrange them over the cheesecake.
  10. Drizzle with chocolate syrup and garnish with additional crushed vanilla wafers, if desired.
  11. Carefully remove the cheesecake from the pan and serve it chilled.

Notes

Keep any leftover cheesecake covered in the refrigerator for 4 to 5 days. It can be frozen for longer storage, wrapped to prevent freezer burn.
