Rich and indulgent layered cheesecake bars with a banana-flavored base and a luscious chocolate cheesecake topping — perfect for dessert lovers who enjoy a twist on classic cheesecake.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for filling)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 4 oz semi-sweet chocolate, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter. Press firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust.
  3. Bake crust for 8–10 minutes, then let cool slightly.
  4. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add 1/2 cup sugar, mashed bananas, eggs, vanilla extract, sour cream, and flour. Mix until well combined.
  5. Pour half of the cheesecake batter over the crust and spread evenly.
  6. Stir the melted chocolate into the remaining cheesecake batter until fully incorporated.
  7. Pour the chocolate layer on top of the banana layer and smooth out the top.
  8. Bake for 35–40 minutes or until the center is set and the edges are slightly puffed.
  9. Cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  10. Once chilled, slice into bars and serve.

Notes

  • Use overripe bananas for best flavor and natural sweetness.
  • Store bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • For a firmer texture, freeze bars for 30 minutes before slicing.
