Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.

Step 3

Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to form the crust. Set aside.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and 1 cup of granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Step 6

Mix in the sour cream, mashed bananas, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.

Step 7

Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust and spread it evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

Place the springform pan on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center jiggles slightly.

Step 9

Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour to cool gradually.

Step 10

Remove the cheesecake from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to set completely.

Step 11

Before serving, spread the caramel sauce evenly over the top of the cheesecake.

Step 12

Garnish with whipped cream, banana slices, and a drizzle of caramel sauce.

Step 13

Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your Banana Caramel Cheesecake!
