Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Filling

  • 3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup mashed bananas
  • 1/2 cup diced strawberries

Topping

  • 1 cup whipped cream
  • Fresh strawberry slices
  • Banana slices

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even crust layer.
  2. Bake the Crust: Bake the crust for 10 minutes to set it, then remove it from the oven and allow it to cool completely before adding the filling.
  3. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy. Add sour cream, vanilla extract, and eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure a smooth, lump-free mixture.
  4. Incorporate Fruits: Gently fold in the mashed bananas and diced strawberries until they are evenly distributed throughout the cheesecake batter, adding a fruity flavor and moist texture.
  5. Fill the Crust: Pour the prepared cheesecake filling over the cooled crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula for a smooth surface.
  6. Bake the Cheesecake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes or until the center is set and only slightly jiggly when gently shaken.
  7. Cool the Cheesecake: Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly open to cool gradually, preventing cracks.
  8. Chill: After cooling to room temperature, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow it to firm up and develop its flavors fully.
  9. Decorate and Serve: Before serving, top the chilled cheesecake with whipped cream, fresh strawberry slices, and banana slices to enhance its appearance and flavor.
  10. Slice and Enjoy: Cut the cheesecake into 8 servings, serve, and relish the creamy, fruity delight.

Notes

  • Ensure cream cheese is fully softened for a smooth batter without lumps.
  • Use ripe bananas for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
  • Allow the cheesecake to cool gradually to prevent cracking on the surface.
  • Refrigerate thoroughly before serving to achieve the best texture.
  • Fresh fruit toppings are best added just before serving to maintain freshness.
