This cheesecake recipe by Cooking with Honey on YouTube has a banana bread crust and reminds me of banana pudding. I love how she dressed up the cheesecake with whipped cream and a vanilla wafer on top. The presentation of this cheesecake looks so good, and it makes me want to make this at home. This recipe is homemade and the instructions to make this cheesecake are easy to follow along. The combination of 2 different desserts merging into one sounds interesting.
First, set the oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, mash the bananas with a fork and add the oil, egg, sugar, and vanilla. Stir until combined. Then, add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Do not over-mix. Continue to watch Cooking with Honey tutorial on YouTube for full instructions and details.

Next, once the banana bread bottom has baked in the oven for 30-40 minutes, combine cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla in a separate bowl. Microwave the milk for about 2 minutes until hot, then add the gelatin powder. Stir until the gelatin is dissolved. Combine the gelatin mixture and cream cheese together until smooth. Pour the cheesecake mixture over the banana bread crust and chill for 3 hours or overnight.
Overall, I love banana bread, so the crust would be perfect to combine with cheesecake for a moist dessert. It looks super-rich and a great way to use ripe bananas.
