Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine vanilla wafer crumbs and melted butter. Press into the bottom of the pan to form the crust. Bake for 8 minutes.
  3. In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar, mixing until well incorporated.
  4. Mix in sour cream, mashed bananas, pudding mix, and vanilla extract until creamy.
  5. Add eggs one at a time on low speed, mixing gently.
  6. Pour the filling into the cooled crust and smooth the top. Tap the pan to remove air bubbles.
  7. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes until the edges are set and the center slightly wobbles.
  8. Turn off the oven and crack the door. Let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 30 minutes.
