How to Make Banana Cream Cheesecake

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. Reserve 1 cup of the dry yellow cake mix.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the remaining cake mix with 1 large egg, 1/3 cup vegetable oil, and 1/3 cup granulated sugar. Mix with an electric mixer until well combined.
  4. Press the mixture into the bottom and 1 inch up the sides of a greased 13x9 inch baking pan.
  5. Arrange sliced bananas evenly over the cake mix crust.
  6. In a separate bowl, beat 8 ounces of cream cheese and 2/3 cup granulated sugar with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
  7. Add the reserved 1 cup of cake mix, 2 large eggs, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to the cream cheese mixture.
  8. Beat for 1 minute until just combined.
  9. Gently blend in 1/2 cup of milk.
  10. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the banana layer in the prepared pan.
  11. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the center is almost set. A toothpick inserted near the center should come out with moist crumbs.
  12. Let the cheesecake cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  13. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the cheesecake to set completely.
  14. Before serving, top with whipped topping (approximately 8 ounces).
