Crushed chessman cookies - The main ingredient for the homemade crust.

Unsalted butter - If you use salted butter, omit the salt from the ingredients list. 

Granulated sugar - Needed for the sweetness.

Cream cheese - Make certain to have it at room temperature so it's creamy and smooth. 

Vanilla - Don't skip - this adds so much flavor. 

Eggs - A great binder for the cheesecake. 

Sour cream - This adds creaminess to the cheesecake filling. 

Ripe bananas - Use your ripe bananas and put them to use.

After baking and chilling, make homemade whipped cream or add store-bought whipped to the top.

TIMESAVING TIPS

• Set out the cream cheese ahead of time and let it get to room temperature. This will speed up the process and you won't have to wait. 
• You can make this simple cheesecake recipe ahead of time and keep it in the fridge overnight.
• If you wanted to make this as individual servings half the recipe and follow all of the same direction using 4-6 ramekins. Cooking them in a water bath will prevent the top from cracking during back. Put the filled ramekins into a glass baking dish and then add water filling up to half way of the ramekins. Cook for the same amount of time as listed in the full cheesecake. The center should be set. Cool to room temperature and then chill for 3-4 hours before serving
