Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Chocolate graham crackers
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 16 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 medium Ripe bananas (mashed)
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 3 Eggs
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a 9x9-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
Step 2
In a medium-sized bowl, mix the chocolate graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until evenly combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the crust. Set aside.
Step 3
Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together in a large bowl until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
Step 4
Add the mashed bananas, sour cream, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture. Mix until just combined.
Step 5
Mix in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
Step 6
Sprinkle in the flour and mix on low speed until the batter is smooth. Do not overmix.
Step 7
Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the prepared crust.
Step 8
Pour the cheesecake batter over the crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center only slightly jiggles when the pan is gently shaken.
Step 10
Remove the bars from the oven and let them cool at room temperature for 1 hour. Then transfer to the refrigerator and chill for at least 3 hours (or overnight) to fully set.
Step 11
Once chilled, use the parchment paper overhang to carefully lift the bars out of the pan. Slice into 16 squares and serve. Keep leftovers refrigerated.
