Notes

  • Use stabilized whipped cream if substituting for whipped topping.
  • Bananas may slightly darken inside the filling but remain flavorful.
  • Freeze individual slices for longer storage and convenient servings.
  • Crust can be made with shortbread or graham crackers as a variation.
  • For best texture, chill the cheesecake overnight.
