Ingredients
  

For the crust

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs Use slightly coarser crumbs for texture.
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted If using salted butter, reduce extra salt in recipe.

For the filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened Use full-fat cream cheese for best texture.
  • 1 cup powdered sugar Dissolves better than granulated sugar.
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream Whipped into stiff peaks.
  • 2 ripe bananas, sliced Slice just before folding into the mixture.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract Adds warmth to the flavor.
  • 1 cup banana pudding mix Important for banana flavor and structure.
  • 2 cups milk Used for whisking into pudding mix.

Instructions
 

Make the crust

  • In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until evenly moistened.
  • Press mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan.
  • Refrigerate while preparing the filling.

Beat the cream cheese

  • In a mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth.
  • Gradually add powdered sugar and mix until incorporated.

Whip the cream

  • In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  • Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.

Add pudding

  • Stir vanilla extract into the mixture, followed by the banana pudding mix and milk. Mix until smooth.

Fold in the bananas

  • Add sliced bananas to the cheesecake filling and fold gently.

Assemble and refrigerate

  • Pour the cheesecake filling over the chilled crust, smooth the top, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Serve

  • Release from the springform pan, slice, and serve chilled, garnished with banana slices if desired.

Notes

Use very ripe bananas for sweetness. Let the cheesecake chill for at least 4 hours for best texture. Avoid rushing the chilling process to prevent structural collapse.
