Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Combine crushed graham crackers, sugar, and melted unsalted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press into a springform pan and bake for 8–10 minutes. Cool completely.
  2. Beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar, then the eggs one at a time. Fold in sour cream, vanilla extract, and mashed bananas until blended.
  3. Pour filling over cooled crust, smoothing out with a spatula. Place the pan in a larger dish filled with hot water and bake for 60–70 minutes until set but slightly jiggly.
  4. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour. Then cool to room temperature and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight.
  5. Remove from springform pan and garnish with banana slices and whipped cream. Drizzle with caramel and sprinkle with optional toppings if desired.
