Equipment

  • 8-inch square baking dish
  • Parchment paper
  • Mixing bowls
  • Hand mixer or stand mixer
  • Spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups gluten-free graham cracker crumbs or any cookies you like
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar firmly packed
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 16 oz. cream cheese brought to room temperature
  • 14 oz. sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup sour cream at room temperature
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup mashed bananas

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, and melted butter until mixed; press the mixture into the bottom of the baking dish and refrigerate.
  • In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth, then add sweetened condensed milk, sour cream, and vanilla extract; mix well and stir in mashed bananas.
  • Pour the filling over the crust and bake for 40 minutes until firm and lightly golden on top.
  • Allow the cheesecake to cool completely in the pan, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
  • Lift the cheesecake out using parchment overhang, slice into squares, and serve chilled, optionally drizzling with honey and adding fresh banana slices.

Notes

For extra flavor, sprinkle cinnamon on top before serving. You can use a variety of cookie crumbs for the crust and substitute bananas with other pureed fruits. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze individually wrapped for up to 3 months. Let the squares come to room temperature before serving for optimal texture, or layer leftovers with whipped cream for a parfait-style treat.
