Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 oz. full-fat cream cheese-softened to room temperature
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 Tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs + 1 egg white
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 6 Tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 egg + 1 egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large or 3 small bananas-mashed (about 1 ¼ cups)
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½– 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon (to taste)
  • ½ cup miniature chocolate chips
  • 3 oz. full-fat cream cheese-softened to room temperature
  • 3 Tablespoons unsalted butter-softened to room temperature
  • 2 cups powdered sugar-sifted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1–2 Tablespoons sour cream
  • 1/3 cup chopped walnuts-for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While the oven is heating, prepare a 9-inch springform pan by lining the bottom with parchment paper and greasing the bottom and sides with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Wrap the outside of the springform pan in two layers of aluminum foil to create a water bath.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
  4. Add the sour cream, sugar, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Mix until well combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  5. Incorporate the eggs and egg white one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  6. In a separate bowl, mix the dry ingredients for the banana bread: flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  7. In another mixing bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, sugars, egg, and mashed bananas until combined. Gradually add in the dry mixture until just combined.
  8. Pour half of the banana bread batter into the prepared springform pan, followed by the cheesecake mixture, and then top with the remaining banana bread batter. Use a knife to swirl the layers gently together for a marbled effect.
  9. Place the springform pan in a larger baking dish and carefully fill the outer dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the springform pan.
  10. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
  11. Once baked, turn off the oven and crack the door open, allowing the cheesecake to cool in the oven for about 1 hour.
  12. After cooling, remove the cheesecake from the water bath and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Nutrition

Keywords: Avoid overmixing the banana bread batter to prevent a dense texture. Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth mixture.
