Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 24 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 medium ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups caramel sauce
- 1 cup whipped cream, for garnish
- 1 large banana slices, for garnish
- 0.25 cups caramel drizzle, for garnish
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan.
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.
Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to form the crust. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and 1 cup of granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Mix in the sour cream, mashed bananas, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Place the springform pan on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center jiggles slightly.
Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour to cool gradually.
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to set completely.
Before serving, spread the caramel sauce evenly over the top of the cheesecake.
Garnish with whipped cream, banana slices, and a drizzle of caramel sauce.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your Banana Caramel Cheesecake!
