Everyone raved about this cheesecake I made a few changes I added 3 bananas and instead of the topping listed I made banana pudding mixed with about half a container of whipped cream. I spead that over the top and then with a star tip I put little dollops of whipped cream and sprinkled vanilla wafer crumbs over the top. It was amazingly good. I will def be making this again.

Delicious! Softer/mushier than baked cheesecakes usually are, which is how I like it. I used graham crackers instead of vanilla wafers because that's what I had available. Like another reviewer suggested, I used the banana butter icing recipe on this site as topping to avoid the unflavored gelatin and heavy cream. I will be making this again!

If you like bananas and banana desserts, you will love this cheesecake. I only made the crust and the cheesecake (no topping) and used 4 bananas and no banana liqueur. Before serving, I topped the cheesecake with a layer of caramel and sprinkled with ground walnuts. Perfect.

Super recipe. I made it in my foods class last week, however had to change the recipe up a bit because the school (of course) wouldn't allow the banana liquor. We looked around in the kitchen for something else banana...but couldn't find anything. So we used some almond extract. Still tasted good. Ill definitely make this recipe again WITH the liquor. =)

I made this cheesecake yesterday. If you follow the instructions exactly as it is written, you will get good results. The base came out perfect with a great taste and the texture of a New York style cheesecake. I am not going to try the topping as I will make a heavy whipping cream frosting for it and cover the top and sides. I will put a cherry on top. Perfect cheesecake. Thank you.

This cheesecake is a great idea. I used 1 cup of pureed banana in place of the sour cream, as they have the same moisture content. This made a nice, thick, and banana flavored cheesecake. I did not have any banana liqueur, so I am sure that the flavor would have been even better with that. I would make a few changes the next time I made this. I would add a double layer of vanilla wafers and greatly reduce the amount of whipped cream in the topping. I felt like I could not taste the pudding after folding in the whipped cream. Also, I would add pieces of walnuts somewhere else in the cheesecake because they are not that noticeable in the crust. Overall, a great recipe-it was devoured at a potluck I went to.

this was amazing! Everyone loved it and thought it was delicious. I did make some changes though. Very minor however. I put 5 bananas in the cheesecake mixture in order to make it thicker. Also I used crushed pecan sandies and melted butter as the crust, instead of vanilla wafers and nuts. I did not use a water bath, and my cheesecake came out wonderfully still, with no cracks. I put a layer of sliced bananas on top of the cheesecake after it cooled over night. Topped with the whipped topping and topped that with crushed pecan sandies. It was delicious!
