Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions
Prepare the Crust: In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture into a 9-inch springform pan or pie dish. Refrigerate.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: Beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks, then fold it into the cream cheese mixture with sour cream.
- Assemble the Cheesecake: Spread half of the cheesecake mixture over the crust, add a layer of banana slices, then top with more cheesecake filling.
- Garnish: Crush vanilla wafer cookies and sprinkle them on top of the cheesecake. Optionally, add banana slices for decoration.
- Chill: Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Serve: Slice and serve chilled, enjoy!
Notes
- For extra richness, you can add a layer of chocolate ganache or dulce de leche between the layers.
- To prevent browning, coat banana slices with lemon juice before adding them to the cheesecake.
- Use a different fruit, like strawberries, if you prefer.
