Ingredients
Method
- Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar; press firmly into a 9-inch springform pan. Refrigerate.
- Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sweetened condensed milk, pudding mix, and vanilla; beat 2 minutes until thick.
- Arrange banana slices over the crust and sprinkle with half of the crushed vanilla wafers.
- Spoon the filling over the layers, spread evenly, cover, and refrigerate at least 4 hours until firm.
- Whip heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla to stiff peaks. Spread over the chilled cheesecake.
- Run a knife around the pan, remove the ring, slice with a hot knife, and serve.
Notes
Chill the cheesecake overnight for the cleanest slices and the best flavor. The bananas will soften slightly and the wafers will absorb a little moisture, turning soft and cake-like.
