How to Make Banana Split Cheesecake Squares
- **Make the crust:** Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs, 6 tablespoons melted unsalted butter, and ¼ cup granulated sugar. Mix until evenly moistened.
- Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- **Prepare the filling:** In a large bowl, beat 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, beating until well combined.
- Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and beat until smooth.
- Beat in 4 large eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Gently fold in 2 ripe bananas, mashed.
- Pour the filling over the prepared crust.
- **Bake:** Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set around the edges and the center is just slightly jiggly.
- **Cool and chill:** Let the cheesecake cool completely in the baking dish on a wire rack. Once cooled, cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the cheesecake to set completely.
- **Create the banana split topping:** Before serving, top the cooled cheesecake with sliced strawberries, sliced bananas, and pineapple chunks.
- Drizzle with melted semi-sweet chocolate chips and sprinkle with chopped pecans or walnuts, if desired.
