Description
A delightful dessert that combines the flavors of banana pudding and cream cheese, offering a nostalgic treat with a buttery graham cracker crust.
Ingredients
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Mix together graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a medium bowl. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish to form the crust.
- Beat the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract in a large bowl until smooth and creamy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in the mashed bananas, sour cream, flour, and milk until fully combined and smooth.
- Pour the banana cheesecake mixture over the graham cracker crust in the prepared baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the center is set (it may jiggle slightly when gently shaken).
- Allow the cheesecake squares to cool completely before cutting them into squares or rectangles.
Notes
Ensure the cream cheese is softened for easier mixing. Ripe bananas add more flavor and sweetness. Garnish with fresh banana slices or whipped cream for presentation.
