Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

For the crust

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

For the cheesecake filling

2 packages cream cheese, softened 8-ounce each
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 cup whipped cream

For the toppings

2 ripe bananas, sliced
1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced plus a few more for garnish
to taste chocolate shavings or caramel drizzle optional for garnish

Method

Prepare the crust

Preheat your oven to 350°F (176°C).
Mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar in a bowl until well combined.
Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan and bake for about 10 minutes.
Let it cool while you prepare the filling.

Create the cheesecake filling

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice, continuing to beat until creamy.
Gently fold in the whipped cream until the filling is light and airy.

Assemble the cheesecake

Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust and spread it evenly.
Arrange the banana slices and strawberries on top of the cheesecake.
Use a little lemon juice on the bananas to prevent browning.

Chill out

Cover the cheesecake and refrigerate for at least four hours (overnight is better) to set.

Serve with flair

Remove the sides of the springform pan and garnish with extra strawberries or chocolate shavings.
Slice and enjoy your delicious cheesecake!

Notes

You can replace graham crackers with crushed cookies or oats for the crust. Adjust sugar levels to your taste, and consider adding crushed nuts for added crunch.
