Banana Pudding Cheesecake Squares

Refrigerate the crust while you prepare the filling.

Prepare the Filling:

In a large bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer with a paddle attachment to beat the cream cheese until smooth.

Add the sweetened condensed milk, sour cream, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Stir in the mashed bananas, leaving some lumps for texture.

Bake the Cheesecake:

Pour the filling over the chilled crust and spread it evenly.

Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until the filling is firm and lightly golden on top.

Cool and Chill:

Allow the cheesecake to cool completely in the baking dish.

Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours to set.

Serve:

After chilling, lift the cheesecake out of the pan using the parchment overhang. Slice into squares and serve chilled.
