  • 0.75 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.75 cup sour cream room temp
  • 1 cup very ripe bananas, mashed
  • 3 large eggs room temp
  • 1.5 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice fresh
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 0.25 tsp fine sea salt

Strawberry Topping

  • 2 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 0.25 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice fresh
  • 1.5 tsp cornstarch
  • 3 tbsp water divided

Finishing (Optional)

  • 1 ripe banana, sliced toss with a little lemon
  • 1 cup whipped cream

Instructions

Prep Crust

  • Heat oven to 325°F. Line 9-inch springform; wrap pan base in foil.
  • Stir crumbs, sugar, salt, and butter until damp sand forms.
  • Press firmly into pan bottom; pack edges tight.
  • Bake crust 10 minutes; cool 10 minutes.

Make Filling

  • Beat cream cheese and sugar until silky, scraping bowl.
  • Mix in sour cream, mashed bananas, vanilla, lemon, and salt.
  • Beat in eggs one at a time on low.
  • Sprinkle in cornstarch; mix just until combined.

Bake & Chill

  • Pour filling into crust; tap pan to release bubbles.
  • Place pan in water bath; bake 55–65 minutes until jiggly center.
  • Turn oven off; crack door; rest 30 minutes.
  • Cool to room temp; chill at least 6 hours.

Cook Strawberry Topping

  • Simmer strawberries, sugar, lemon, and 2 tbsp water 3 minutes.
  • Mix cornstarch with 1 tbsp water; stir into pan; cook until glossy.
  • Cool completely; chill until spoonable.

Serve

  • Spread topping over cheesecake.
  • Add banana slices and whipped cream just before serving.
  • Slice with warm knife; wipe between cuts.

Notes

No sour cream? Use plain Greek yogurt. Try vanilla wafer or shortbread crumbs for the crust. Swap raspberries for strawberries, or skip banana slices and just dollop whipped cream. To avoid cracks, keep the batter mixed on low and don’t overbake—slight jiggle is perfect.
