Banana Pudding Cheesecake

Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).

Mix the vanilla wafer crumbs and melted butter in a bowl until evenly combined.

Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.

Bake for 10 minutes, then let cool.

Make the Cheesecake Filling:

In a bowl, mash the bananas and mix with lemon juice to prevent browning.

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth.

Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Stir in vanilla extract, sour cream, and heavy cream, followed by the mashed bananas.

Pour the mixture over the cooled crust.
