Banana Cream Cheesecake


Ok, this isn't a real-deal cheesecake, but I was afraid to attempt one of those since my oven can't even cook a quiche all the way through. It really is absolutely delish though!


Banana Cream Cheesecake

Ingredients
1-3/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter, melted (may need to add a bit more)

Filling:
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 carton (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed, divided
3 to 4 medium firm bananas, sliced
1-3/4 cups cold milk
1 package (3.4 ounces) instant banana cream pudding mix


Directions
In a small bowl, combine cracker crumbs and sugar; stir in butter. Set aside 1/2 cup for topping (optional). Press remaining crumb mixture onto the bottom and up the sides of a greased 9-in. springform pan or 9-in. square baking pan. Bake at 350° for 5-7 minutes. Cool on wire rack.
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Fold in 2 cups whipped topping. Arrange half of the banana slices on crust; top with half of the cream cheese mixture. Repeat layers.
In a small bowl, whisk milk and pudding mix for 2 minutes. Let stand for 2 minutes or until soft-set; fold in remaining whipped topping. Pour over the cream cheese layer. Sprinkle with reserved crumb mixture. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours or until set. Yield: 10 servings.
