Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 1/2 cups vanilla wafer crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup mashed ripe bananas

For the Banana Pudding Layer:

  • 1 (3.4 oz) package instant banana pudding mix
  • 1 1/2 cups cold milk
  • 2 bananas, sliced

For the Whipped Cream Topping:

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Vanilla wafer crumbs for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
  • Make the Crust: In a medium bowl, mix the vanilla wafer crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
  • Prepare Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth. Add the sour cream, then the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and mashed bananas until well combined.
  • Assemble Cheesecake: Pour the cheesecake batter over the crust, spreading it evenly.
  • Bake: Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake in the oven with the door slightly open for 1 hour.
  • Cool and Chill: Remove from the oven and cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Prepare Banana Pudding Layer: In a bowl, whisk together the instant pudding mix and cold milk until thickened. Layer the pudding over the chilled cheesecake and top with banana slices.
  • Make Whipped Cream Topping: In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until it begins to thicken. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to whip until stiff peaks form.
  • Top and Serve: Spread the whipped cream over the banana pudding layer. Garnish with vanilla wafer crumbs before serving.

Notes

For added flavor, consider drizzling some caramel sauce on top before serving.
