  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • Whipped cream (for garnish)
  • Sliced bananas and vanilla wafers (for garnish)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the crust: Mix vanilla wafer crumbs, chopped pecans, and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a greased 9-inch springform pan. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes. Cool completely.
  2. Make the banana mixture: Combine lemon juice and mashed bananas in a small saucepan. Stir in brown sugar and cook until the sugar dissolves.
  3. Create the cheesecake filling: Beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add granulated sugar, then eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract and the banana mixture.
