Description
Delicious and creamy mini cheesecakes with a banana pudding twist, perfect for a sweet treat!
Ingredients
1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup melted butter
2 tablespoons sugar
2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 ripe bananas, mashed
1 box instant banana pudding mix
Whipped cream for topping
Banana slices for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Stir until the crumbs are evenly coated.
- Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the crumb mixture into each muffin cup, pressing down gently to form the crust.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Stir in sour cream, heavy cream, mashed bananas, and banana pudding mix until fully incorporated.
- Pour the cheesecake mixture over the prepared crusts in each muffin cup, filling each about 3/4 full.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the centers are just set. They may still have a slight jiggle.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow them to set.
- Before serving, top with whipped cream and banana slices.
Notes
- Ensure bananas are fully ripe for the best flavor.
- Allow enough chilling time for optimal texture.
- Use full-fat cream cheese for a richer cheesecake.
- Graham cracker crust can be substituted with vanilla wafer crumbs.
