Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • 1.5 cups crushed graham crackers
  • 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
  • 0.25 cups sugar
For the Cheesecake Filling
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 0.75 cups sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 pieces eggs
  • 1 cups banana puree (about 2 ripe bananas)
  • 1 cups sliced strawberries
For the Topping
  • 1 cups fresh strawberries, halved
  • 1 piece banana, sliced
  • to taste whipped cream (optional, for serving)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. In a bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and sugar.
  3. Mix until it resembles wet sand and press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
  4. Bake the crust in the oven for 10 minutes.
Making the Filling
  1. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
  2. Add the vanilla extract and beat again until fully combined.
  3. Add eggs one by one, mixing just until incorporated.
  4. Gently fold in the banana puree and sliced strawberries.
Baking the Cheesecake
  1. Pour the cheesecake batter over the crust in the springform pan and spread it evenly.
  2. Bake for about 50-60 minutes, until the edges are set and the center slightly jiggles.
  3. Let the cheesecake cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least four hours or overnight.
Serving
  1. Remove the cheesecake from the fridge, take off the springform pan, and top with fresh strawberries and banana slices.
  2. Add a dollop of whipped cream if desired and serve.

Notes

Ripe bananas enhance sweetness; consider using a water bath to prevent cracks. Store leftovers in the fridge covered for up to 3-4 days.
