Ingredients
  

Crust:

1 cup crushed graham crackers

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1/4 cup granulated sugar

Filling:

16 oz cream cheese, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 ripe bananas, mashed

Topping:

1 cup heavy whipping cream

1/4 cup powdered sugar

1/2 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)

1/2 cup mixed nuts (walnuts, pecans, or almonds), chopped

Extra banana slices for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until all crumbs are moistened. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes. Remove and let cool.

    Make the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with granulated sugar until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Incorporate the vanilla extract and mashed bananas, mixing until fully blended.

      Bake the Cheesecake: Pour the filling over the cooled crust. Bake in the preheated oven at 325°F (160°C) for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly wobbly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour. Then cool completely at room temperature before transferring to the fridge for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

        Prepare the Topping: In a clean bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar together until stiff peaks form. This will be your cheesecake topping.

          Assemble the Cheesecake: Once the cheesecake is fully chilled, remove it from the springform pan. Spread the whipped cream over the top evenly. Drizzle generously with caramel sauce and sprinkle chopped nuts all over. Add banana slices as a garnish.

            Serve: Slice the cheesecake and serve chilled, with additional caramel sauce on the side if desired.

              Prep Time: 20 minutes | Total Time: 5 hours | Servings: 10-12

                - Presentation Tips: Serve the cheesecake on a decorative platter. Arrange banana slices around the plate and drizzle extra caramel sauce artistically for a more appealing presentation. Use whole nuts as a garnish to add texture contrast.
