Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and prepare a 9-inch springform pan by lining the bottom with parchment paper and greasing the sides.
- Pulse graham crackers until fine crumbs, combine with brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter, then press into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 7-8 minutes and cool.
- Lower the oven temperature to 280°F (140°C). Beat cream cheese, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, sour cream, and vanilla in a bowl until creamy.
- Mash ripe bananas and fold into the mixture, then add eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed.
- Sift cornstarch into the batter and mix gently until smooth.
- Pour batter over the baked crust and bake for about 1 hour until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
- Turn off the oven, crack the door, and allow the cheesecake to cool in the oven for 1-2 hours before refrigerating for at least 5 hours or overnight.
- For the topping, melt butter in a skillet, add brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla, then pour in heavy cream and add sliced bananas, simmering for 3-4 minutes.
- Remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and top with the warm caramelized bananas before serving.
