Ingredients:

2 cups graham cracker crumbs

1/2 cup melted unsalted butter

3 ripe bananas, mashed

3 tablespoons lemon juice

4 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened

1 1/2 cups granulated sugar

4 large eggs

1 cup sour cream

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1 1/2 cups chopped strawberries

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan.

In a medium bowl, thoroughly mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until evenly combined. Press the mixture onto the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust.

In another bowl, combine the mashed bananas with lemon juice. Set aside.

Using a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until creamy and smooth. Gradually add eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is well incorporated before adding the next.

Mix in sour cream, vanilla extract, and flour until the batter is smooth and well blended.

Gently fold in the mashed banana mixture and chopped strawberries until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Pour the batter into the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until the center of the cheesecake is nearly set.

Turn off the oven and allow the cheesecake to cool inside with the door closed for 1 hour.

Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack. Refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving.
