• 16 oz (450 g) cream cheese, softened
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• 2 ripe bananas, mashed
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Topping:

• ½ cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 banana, sliced for garnish
• Whipped cream (optional)

Instructions

1. Make the Crust
   Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and brown sugar until combined. Press mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 9×9-inch baking pan. Bake for 8–10 minutes, then set aside to cool slightly.
2. Prepare the Filling
   In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add mashed bananas, eggs, and vanilla extract, mixing until creamy and well combined.
3. Bake the Cheesecake
   Pour the filling over the crust and smooth the top. Bake for 25–30 minutes or until the center is just set. Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
4. Add the Topping
   Once chilled, spread caramel sauce evenly over the cheesecake layer. Garnish with banana slices and whipped cream if desired.
5. Slice and Serve
   Cut into bars and enjoy cold for the best flavor and texture.
