Instructions

Prepare the Crust

In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 1/4 cup sugar. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.

2. Make the Cheesecake Filling

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Add 3/4 cup sugar and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
Stir in the mashed bananas and fold in the whipped cream until the mixture is light and fluffy.

3. Assemble the Cheesecake

Spread half of the cheesecake filling evenly over the chilled crust.
Arrange a layer of sliced strawberries over the filling.
Spread the remaining cheesecake filling on top, smoothing the surface with a spatula.

4. Chill to Set

Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow it to set completely.

5. Garnish and Serve

Before serving, decorate the top with fresh strawberry and banana slices, or dollops of whipped cream for extra flair.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy the fruity and creamy flavors in every bite!

Notes

Use ripe bananas for the best flavor and sweetness.
Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth filling.
For a firmer texture, let the cheesecake chill overnight.
Add a drizzle of strawberry or chocolate syrup for a decadent touch.
