1/4 cup granulated sugar
For the Cheesecake Filling:
16 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 package (3.4 oz) instant banana pudding mix
1 cup cold milk
2 large bananas, sliced
1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Topping:
1 cup whipped cream
Vanilla wafers for garnish
Sliced bananas for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust:
- In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Chill in the refrigerator.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling:
- Beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Whip heavy cream with granulated sugar until stiff peaks form and fold into cream cheese mixture.
- Whisk banana pudding mix with cold milk until thickened, then mix into the cream cheese mixture with vanilla extract.
- Assemble the Cheesecake:
- Spread a layer of cheesecake filling over the chilled crust. Add sliced bananas, then top with remaining cheesecake filling. Smooth the top and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
- Add the Topping:
- Before serving, spread whipped cream over the cheesecake and garnish with sliced bananas and vanilla wafers.
- Serve:
- Remove from the springform pan, slice, and serve chilled.
Notes
For best results, chill the cheesecake overnight.
Use ripe but firm bananas to avoid overly mushy texture.
For a firmer filling, ensure the pudding mix is well integrated and the cheesecake is properly chilled.
