Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer or stand mixer
  • Spatula
  • 9-inch springform pan
  • Whisk

Ingredients

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 24 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 ripe bananas mashed
  • 1/2 cup crushed vanilla wafers
  • 2 boxes instant banana pudding mix
  • 3 cups cold milk
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • q.s. sliced bananas for decoration
  • q.s. crushed vanilla wafers for decoration

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press into the bottom of the pan to create an even layer and bake for 10 minutes. Let it cool.
  • In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth, then add sugar, sour cream, and vanilla extract. Mix in eggs one at a time, then fold in mashed bananas and crushed wafers.
  • Pour the cheesecake batter over the cooled crust and smooth it out. Bake for 60-70 minutes until edges are set; the center should jiggle slightly.
  • Leave the cheesecake to cool in the oven with the door ajar for about an hour, then cool completely.
  • Whisk banana pudding mix with cold milk until thick, then spread over the cooled cheesecake. Chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours.
  • Beat heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Spread over the pudding layer and decorate with sliced bananas and crushed wafers.
