Ingredients

Scale
  1. For the Crust:

    • 1 ½ cups crushed vanilla wafers

    • ½ cup melted butter

  2. For the Cheesecake Filling:

    • 3 packs (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened

    • ¾ cup granulated sugar

    • 3 large eggs

    • 1 cup mashed bananas

    • ½ cup sour cream

    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  3. For the Topping:

    • Whipped cream

    • Sliced bananas

    • Crushed vanilla wafers


Instructions

  • Prepare the Crust:
    Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). In a mixing bowl, combine crushed vanilla wafers and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a greased 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes, then let it cool while preparing the filling.

  • Make the Cheesecake Filling:
    In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Mix in the mashed bananas, sour cream, and vanilla extract until fully combined.

  • Bake the Cheesecake:
    Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is slightly set. Turn off the oven, slightly crack the oven door, and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best texture.

 

  • Decorate & Serve:
    Before serving, top with whipped cream, banana slices, and crushed vanilla wafers. Slice and enjoy this creamy banana pudding cheesecake!


Notes

  • Refrigerating overnight helps set the cheesecake perfectly.

  • You can top with caramel or chocolate sauce for extra indulgence!

 

  • Make sure the cheesecake cools gradually to prevent cracking.
