Method

Step-by-Step Instructions for Banana Cream Cheesecake

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a springform pan and bake for 8–10 minutes. Allow to cool.
Blend cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add sugar, then beat in eggs one at a time. Mix in sour cream, vanilla extract, and mashed bananas.
Pour the filling into the cooled crust. Bake in a water bath for 60–70 minutes until edges are set and center jiggles slightly.
Cool the cheesecake in the oven with the door ajar for an hour. Then refrigerate for at least four hours or overnight.
Remove from the springform pan, top with fresh banana slices and whipped cream before serving. Enjoy!
