  • 2 mixing bowls
  • 1 electric mixer or hand mixer
  • 1 rubber spatula
  • 1 set measuring cups and spoons
  • 1 oven mitts

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • extra slices banana for garnish (optional) For serving.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).
  • In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and ¼ cup granulated sugar. Mix until well combined.
  • Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
  • In a separate large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
  • Gradually add 1 cup of granulated sugar to the cream cheese, mixing well.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, mix in the vanilla extract, mashed bananas, sour cream, ground cinnamon, and salt until evenly combined.
  • Pour the cheesecake batter over the cooled graham cracker crust in the springform pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  • Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
  • Turn off the oven, crack the door open, and allow the cheesecake to cool inside for about 1 hour.
  • Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Then, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
  • Before serving, garnish with extra banana slices if desired.

Notes

For best results, allow the cheesecake to chill overnight to develop the flavors.
You can top the cheesecake with whipped cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for an extra treat.
Store any leftovers in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 3 days.
