Ingredients
  

For the Crust:

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • For the Cheesecake Filling:
  • 3 ripe bananas mashed
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries chopped
  • 4 packages 8 oz each cream cheese, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice

Optional Ingredients:

  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon for added warmth
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips for extra richness
  • Whipped cream for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
  • Mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until combined, then press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the pan to form the crust.
  • Mash bananas in a bowl and mix with lemon juice to prevent browning.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy.
  • Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  • Stir in sour cream, vanilla extract, and flour until fully incorporated.
  • Gently fold in the mashed bananas and chopped strawberries.
  • Pour the batter over the prepared crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
  • Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still has a slight jiggle.
  • Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour before transferring it to a wire rack.
  • Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving.
  • Garnish with whipped cream, extra strawberries, or a drizzle of chocolate if desired.

Notes

For a richer texture, replace half of the sour cream with Greek yogurt.
If fresh strawberries aren’t available, use frozen ones, but thaw and drain them first.
To prevent cracks, use a water bath while baking.
