Instructions

Crust Preparation:

Preheat your oven to 325°F. Line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper, greasing the sides.
Mix the crust ingredients, press into the bottom of the pan, and bake for 10 minutes. Let cool while preparing for the cheesecake’s water bath.

Cheesecake Preparation:

Lower oven temperature to 300°F.
Beat cream cheese, sugar, and flour on low until smooth. Incorporate sour cream, banana extract, and mashed bananas. Add eggs one at a time, mixing just enough to blend.
Pour the filling into the crust and place in a water bath. Bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside to prevent cracking.

Whipped Cream Toppings:

For each whipped cream “ice cream,” whip the ingredients until stiff peaks form. For the strawberry version, add pink coloring as desired.
Freeze the whipped cream “ice cream” until firm. Whip vanilla cream for the swirls just before serving.

Assembly:

Once the cheesecake has fully set and chilled, arrange scoops of the whipped cream “ice cream” on top.
Pipe vanilla whipped cream swirls around the scoops and garnish with your chosen toppings (pineapple, strawberries, cherries, nuts, bananas, and a drizzle of chocolate sauce).
