I made this for a potluck at work and it was a huge hit! The only changes I made were to increase the amount of mashed banana, and I did use a jar of caramel sauce to save time. This is one of the quickest and easiest cheesecake recipes I have ever made. AWESOME!

Something was amiss for me with this recipe and I can't really put my finger on it. I think it was the overpowering banana flavor combined with the cheese. It's just a really rich desert that I wish had more caramel flavor throughout instead of just on top. Note to people trying this: make the caramel sauce on the side and dress each slice instead of covering the whole thing like I did. The sauce becomes strange and watery/milky in the fridge.

wow was this a great recipe, made it for my brother in laws birthday. I did make some changes though, I baked it in a 9 in. spring form pan and I increased the mashed bananas to a cup or 2 whole bananas. I had to bake it for 45 minutes as well, for the caramel sauce i cooked it in a double boiler and only put a little evaporated milk in it i did not use the whole can. I will definitely be making this again

I changed this a little. Shortbread cookies, no sugar for the crust. Vanilla wafers would probably be delicious. The cake recipe stayed the same except I baked mine in a 9 inch springform pan for abour 45-50 minutes. Also cheated on the sauce with ice cream caramel topping.

Fabulous! I made it with 3/4 cup mashed banana, 1/2 tsp banana extract and a chocolate cookie crumb crust instead of graham. I garnished with walnuts, chocolate shavings, and caramel using the caramel recipe "chewy caramel" from this site. It's a huge hit! Thanks!

I used double banana's and 1/4 tsp of banana extract like others suggested and the banana flavor was very strong. Maybe use one of the suggestions but not both. I might try this again because even though the taste was overpowering, it was still good.

I made this for a dinner party and it was a big hit! Everyone loved it! Took the advice of different people here. I doubled the amount of mashed bananas and I think it definitely gave the cake a better, stronger, more "banana" flavor. I also "cheated" and just used a jar of caramel sauce from the store. Shortly before serving, I decorated the top with the caramel sauce and sliced bananas around the rim. This cake is so easy but tastes like you slaved over it for hours! Will definitely be making this again!!

Terrific cheesecake. Everyone loved it. The only thing I would maybe do differently is decrease the sugar a bit. It was a bit too sweet for me, but had terrific banana flavour.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make. Instead of the vanilla, I added banana extract like another rater suggested. I've made it several times and took it to work and it never last. I use caramel sauce from the jar so I don't have a mess to clean up. It's a wonderful recipe and I'll make it again and again!

Mine was way too runny. Every other cheesecake I have made required a lower oven setting around 325 and longer baking time. The next time I make this I will bake for at least an hour at 325. Otherwise the flavor was good, I substituted 1 tsp of banana extract for the vanilla and added another 1/2 c. of mashed bananas.

A pretty good cheesecake. Instead of adding more mashed bananas, to heighten the banana flavor add a little banana liqueur (banana schnapps, creme de bananes)or even banana extract.

This recipe yielded a nice light and fluffy cheesecake. My only reservation about giving it 5 stars is the caramel sauce, we didn't really care for it and it made way too much. It was more like caramel milk, I guess I was hoping for something thicker. The cheesecake was fabulous though!

This was okay. It was easy to make and looked nice. My family said it was "good", I thought it was rather bland even with using more bananas.

I am so glad that I logged on to AllRecipes and looked up cheesecakes. I didn't realize they were so easy to make. My only suggestion for this recipe is if you want a stronger banana flavor then double the banana serving.
