Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, mix together graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish to form the crust.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in the mashed bananas, sour cream, flour, and milk until fully combined and smooth.
- Pour the banana cheesecake mixture over the graham cracker crust in the prepared baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the center is set (it may jiggle slightly when gently shaken).
- Allow the cheesecake squares to cool completely before cutting them into squares or rectangles.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature, and enjoy!
Notes
- For an extra touch, top the cheesecake squares with whipped cream or sliced fresh bananas before serving.
- If you like, you can sprinkle some crushed vanilla wafers or additional graham cracker crumbs on top for added texture.
- These squares can be made a day ahead and refrigerated overnight for a more solid texture.
