Ingredients

• 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for crust)
• 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 24 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar (for filling)
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1.5 cups mashed ripe bananas
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 3 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream (for topping)
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for topping)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for topping)
• 1 banana banana slices (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.

Step 3

Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, creating an even layer for the crust. Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and 1 cup of sugar until smooth and creamy.

Step 5

Add sour cream, mashed bananas, and cornstarch to the mixing bowl. Beat until well combined.

Step 6

Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition just until incorporated.

Step 7

Stir in 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract. Pour the cheesecake batter over the pre-baked crust in the springform pan.

Step 8

Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for about 65-75 minutes, or until the center is set and only slightly jiggly.

Step 9

Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the oven door slightly ajar for 1 hour to cool gradually. Then, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or overnight.

Step 10

To prepare the topping, whip heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract in a chilled bowl until soft peaks form.

Step 11

Spread or pipe the whipped cream over the chilled cheesecake.

Step 12

Garnish with fresh banana slices before serving.
