Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer
  • Spatula
  • 9-inch springform pan
  • Baking dish (for water bath)

Ingredients

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 8 oz packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
  • In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter; press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
  • Bake for 8 minutes and let cool.
  • Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth, then add granulated and brown sugars, mixing until combined.
  • Beat in the eggs one at a time, adding sour cream, vanilla extract, and mashed bananas until thick and creamy.
  • Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top.
  • Place the springform pan in a larger baking dish filled with hot water to create a water bath.
  • Bake for 60-70 minutes until edges are set but the center is jiggly; cool in the oven for 1 hour.
  • Chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form; spread over cheesecake and garnish as desired.

Notes

To keep your bananas from browning, toss them in a little lemon juice before mashing. For variations, consider using low-fat cream cheese or a vegan substitute. Store any leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze individual slices for longer storage. For the best taste and texture, allow the cheesecake to chill overnight before serving. Enjoy your creation and watch the smiles it brings!
