Ingredients
  

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

1 cup powdered sugar

16 oz cream cheese, softened

1 cup heavy whipping cream

1 cup ripe bananas, mashed (about 2 medium bananas)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 cup mini marshmallows

1 cup banana chips, crushed

1 tablespoon banana pudding powder

Fresh banana slices for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes, then allow it to cool.

    Make the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing until fully combined.

      Add the Bananas and Flavor: Stir in the mashed bananas, vanilla extract, and lemon juice with a spatula. Mix until the bananas are well incorporated into the cream cheese.

        Whip the Cream: In another bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form. Then, gently fold the whipped cream into the banana cream cheese mixture until smooth and fluffy.

          Incorporate the Crunch: Fold in the mini marshmallows, crushed banana chips, and the banana pudding powder into the creamy mixture. This adds texture and flavor to your cheesecake.

            Assemble the Cheesecake: Pour the banana cream cheese mixture over the cooled graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Smooth the top and cover it with plastic wrap.

              Chill the Cheesecake: Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to let it set properly.

                Serve: Once set, release the springform pan and carefully slice the cheesecake. Garnish with fresh banana slices on top right before serving.
