Notes
For a softer center, remove cheesecake when the middle still wobbles slightly. For firmer slices, bake a few extra minutes. Freeze whole or sliced cheesecake tightly wrapped for up to 2 months; thaw overnight in the refrigerator. If bananas are watery, drain mash briefly first. Add walnuts, cinnamon, chocolate chips, or peanut butter for flavor twists. Store covered in the refrigerator up to 5 days.
