How to Make Banana Cream Cheesecake
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Combine cookie crumbs, pecans and melted butter; press evenly into the bottom of a greased 9 inch spring form pan. - Stand up whole cookies around edge of pan, rounded side of cookie against pan. Bake 10 minutes; cool completely on a wire rack.
- In a small saucepan, combine bananas, lemon juice and brown sugar. Cook over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat.
- Beat cream cheese with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in sugar. Add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing well after each addition. Beat in extracts. Gently stir in banana mixture.
- Pour mixture over prepared crust. Bake for 45-55 minutes until center is set. Center should still be a little wobbly when shook.
- Sprinkle top evenly with coarse chopped cookies - or can do this as served.
- Before ready to serve...make whipped cream:
Beat whipping cream on low until bubbles start to form, about 30 seconds. Increase to medium speed and beat until it begins to thicken; then beat on high. Just before it reaches the soft peak stage, add the sugar and vanilla; continue to beat on high until stiff peaks form.
Serve with a dollop on the side, or on top of the cheesecake...enjoy!
