Strawberry Banana Pudding Cheesecake

A delightful Strawberry Banana Pudding Cheesecake with a graham cracker crust, creamy banana-infused cheesecake filling, and a luscious strawberry topping.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes (plus chilling time)
  • Yield: 12 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Crust:
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • For the Cheesecake Filling:
  • 3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • For the Topping:
  • 1/2 cup strawberry jam or strawberry sauce
  • 1 banana, sliced
  • Whipped cream
  • Crumbled graham crackers for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust:
  2. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until fully combined.
  4. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Use the back of a spoon to pack it tightly.
  5. Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes, then set it aside to cool.
  6. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:
  7. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
  8. Add the sour cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract, and mix until combined.
  9. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition.
  10. Stir in the mashed bananas and heavy cream.
  11. Pour the cheesecake batter into the cooled crust and smooth the top.
  12. Bake the Cheesecake:
  13. Place the cheesecake into the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes or until the center is set (it may still jiggle slightly).
  14. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour.
  15. After cooling, transfer it to the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
  16. Top the Cheesecake:
  17. Once the cheesecake is chilled, spread the strawberry jam or strawberry sauce over the top of the cheesecake.
  18. Decorate with sliced banana, a dollop of whipped cream, and a sprinkling of crushed graham crackers.

Notes

  • For best results, ensure cream cheese is fully softened.
  • The cheesecake may still jiggle slightly in the center when done; it will firm up as it chills.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of strawberry jam or sauce to your preference.
