Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch springform pan.

  4. Add granulated sugar, vanilla extract, mashed bananas, and salt. Mix until well combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, whip cold heavy cream and powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
  6. Gently fold whipped cream into the banana cheesecake mixture until just combined.
  7. Pour filling over cooled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
  8. Bake for 55–65 minutes, until edges are set and center slightly jiggles.
  9. Turn off oven, crack door open, and let cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour.
  10. Refrigerate cheesecake for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  11. Before serving, top with whipped cream, sliced bananas, optional caramel sauce, and chocolate chips if desired.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for stronger flavor.
  • To prevent cracks, cool gradually and avoid overmixing.
  • Freeze individual slices for up to 1 month; thaw before serving.
  • Add chopped nuts to crust for texture variation.
