Cheesecake

  • 16 oz full-fat cream cheese softened to room temperature
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 Tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs plus 1 egg white

Banana Bread

  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 6 Tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 egg plus 1 egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large bananas or 3 small, mashed (about 1 ¼ cups)
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon to taste
  • ½ cup miniature chocolate chips

Cream Cheese Frosting

  • 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
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • 1 Tablespoon sour cream
  • ⅓ cup chopped walnuts for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, sour cream, and sugar until smooth. Add the vanilla and flour, then mix until combined.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Pour the cheesecake batter into the prepared pan and set aside.
  • In another bowl, mix the vegetable oil, sugar, and brown sugar until well combined. Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla, then mix.
  • Fold in the mashed bananas, then gradually add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  • Spread the banana bread batter over the cheesecake layer in the pan. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting. For the frosting, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add the powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt, then mix. Add sour cream as needed for consistency.
  • Spread the frosting over the cooled cake and garnish with chopped walnuts.

Notes

Store the cheesecake in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For best results, let it sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving.
