Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Banana Pudding Cheesecake
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Crush about 2 cups of Nilla Wafers and mix with 1/2 cup of melted unsalted butter. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes.
  2. In a large bowl, beat together 16 ounces of cream cheese and 1 cup of granulated sugar until creamy. Add 1 cup of sour cream, 3 beaten eggs, 2 ripe mashed bananas, and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined.
  3. Pour the creamy filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan. Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 30-35 minutes until the edges are firm but the center jiggles.
  4. After baking, let it cool at room temperature for 1 hour, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  5. When ready to serve, release the sides of the springform pan and top with whipped cream and fresh banana slices before slicing.
