Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted unsalted butter, and granulated sugar. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press this mixture into the bottom of the springform pan and bake for 8-10 minutes.
  3. Lower the oven temperature to 325°F (163°C). Beat the cream cheese with remaining sugar until smooth and creamy for about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Fold in vanilla extract and mashed ripe bananas until combined. Pour this batter over the cooled crust.
  5. Bake for 50-60 minutes. The edges should be set with a slight jiggle in the center.
  6. Cool at room temperature, then chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  7. Prepare pudding mix with cold milk as instructed. Spread over cheesecake.
  8. Top with whipped cream, banana slices, and crushed graham crackers.
  9. Slice and serve chilled.
