    • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
    • ¾ cup powdered sugar
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
    • ½ cup strawberry puree (from fresh strawberries)
  • For topping:
    • 1 banana, sliced
    • ½ cup fresh strawberries, sliced
    • Optional: whipped cream for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the crust:
    • In a medium-sized bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated with the butter.
    • Press the mixture into the base of a 9-inch springform pan or pie dish, creating an even layer. Refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to set the crust.
  2. Make the cheesecake filling:
    • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
    • Add the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Continue beating until the mixture thickens and becomes fluffy.
    • Gently fold in the mashed bananas and strawberry puree, mixing until well combined.
  3. Assemble the cheesecake:
    • Pour the cheesecake filling onto the chilled crust and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
    • Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or until it sets firmly. For best results, refrigerate overnight.
  4. Prepare the topping:
    • Just before serving, arrange the banana slices and strawberry slices on top of the cheesecake, creating a beautiful, colorful pattern.
    • Optionally, garnish with a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch of sweetness and flair.
