BANANA PUDDING CHEESECAKE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 10-inch (25 cm) springform pan with nonstick spray.
• Make the banana bread crust: Set aside 7 vanilla wafers, then add the rest to a zip-top plastic bag and pound with a rolling pin into fine crumbs.
• Transfer the crushed wafers to a medium bowl, add the melted butter, and stir to combine.
• Pour the crust into the prepared pan and press against the bottom to about ¼ inch (6 mm) thick with a flat-bottomed measuring cup.
• In a large bowl, mash the bananas with a fork until smooth. Add the sugar, oil, egg, vanilla, salt, flour, and baking powder. Beat with an electric hand mixer until well-combined.
• Pour the banana bread mixture over the crust and spread evenly with a spatula.
• Bake for 30 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
• Make the cheesecake filling: In a large bowl, combine the milk, gelatin, and banana pudding mix. Beat with an electric hand mixer until thick and smooth.
• Add the sugar, vanilla, and cream cheese, and beat again until well-combined.
• Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition.
• Pour the cheesecake filling over the banana bread crust.
• Bake for 1 hour, then turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake in the oven. Prop the oven door open slightly with a kitchen towel to let the hot air slowly escape. After 2 hours, remove the cheesecake from the oven. Refrigerate overnight.
• Arrange the sliced bananas on top of the cheesecake. Release the springform, then pipe whipped cream on top of 7 of the bananas. Place the reserved vanilla wafer cookies on top of the whipped cream.
• Slice and serve.
• Enjoy!

EASY BANANA PUDDING CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
• Cream together cream cheese and sugar until smooth (about 2 minutes at medium speed). Add in eggs and mix until combined.
• In a separate bowl, mash up bananas. Squeeze in the juice from the lemon and stir until combined.
• Add the instant pudding and the mashed bananas to the cream cheese mixture. Make sure you scrap down the sides of the bowl often. Mix until combined. Batter will be thick.
• Put vanilla wafers into ziploc bag and crush. You want to leave some of them chunky so that you'll see bits of wafer in the cheesecake. Gently fold the wafers into the cheesecake batter.
• Spread batter in to graham cracker crust.
• Bake in the oven for about 55-60 minutes.
• It'll be a pit puffy when you first take it out of the oven. Don't worry, it'll all settle down as it cools.
• Allow cheesecake to cool for several hours in the fridge before serving. A great way to serve this is to top each slice with whipped cream and a slice of banana and vanilla wafer.
• Enjoy!
