In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Stir in the vanilla extract.
Prepare the Banana Layer:
In a separate bowl, combine the mashed bananas, lemon juice, and sugar. Mix until smooth.
Assemble the Cheesecake:
Pour the banana mixture evenly over the prepared crust.
Gently pour the cheesecake batter over the banana layer, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake the Cheesecake:
Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature.
Prepare the Strawberry Topping:
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the strawberries and sugar. Cook until the strawberries release their juices, about 5 minutes.
Add the dissolved cornstarch and cook for another 2–3 minutes until the mixture thickens. Let it cool completely.
Assemble the Fantasy:
Once the cheesecake has cooled, spread the strawberry topping evenly over the top.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
Serve:
Garnish with fresh banana slices and strawberries if desired. Slice and enjoy your Banana-Strawberry Cheesecake Fantasy!
This delightful dessert combines the best of fruity flavors and creamy textures for an irresistible treat. 🍌🍓
