  • In a bowl, mix crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and sugar. Press firmly into the bottom of the pan to form the crust.

  • Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  • Stir in vanilla extract, mashed bananas, sour cream, and caramel sauce until fully combined.
  • Pour the filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top.
  • Bake for 50–60 minutes, until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
  • Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside with the door slightly open for 1 hour.
  • Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until fully set.
  • Before serving, drizzle with extra caramel sauce and sprinkle with chopped nuts.

Notes

Use ripe bananas with brown spots for best sweetness and flavor.Avoid overmixing to help prevent cracks in the cheesecake.A water bath can be used for a smoother texture and even baking.Cool gradually in the oven to reduce cracking.Store-bought or homemade caramel sauce both work well.
