Ok so I could not follow the recipe. hehehehee I did not have 24 oz of cream cheese so I had only 2-8 oz cream cheese and 8 oz laughing cow, so I used that. I had 3 over ripe bananas so I used them all. My eggs were small ones so I used 4, I did not have whipping cream so I used sour cream. I did not have vanilla cookies so used graham crackers... With all that... I baked it at 350 for 20 min then turned down to 250 for 75 min. Center was semi firm at that point. It turned out very YUMMY! (a recipe is only a sugestion)!! : ) THANK YOU THANK YOU.

    This is by far the most beautiful cheesecake I have ever made, and I make a lot! The cooking directions were great! The only problem I had -and if I had read more reviews maybe this would have been mentioned- I chose too green of banannas. I'm thinking the stage just before the brown spots appear would have been PERFECT. The bananas I used had a tiny bit of green on the stem. The cheesecake wasn't sweet enough. That being said it was still very good. I served it with Whipped cream on top- made from a recipe here. I will definately make this again- with riper bananas!

    This recipe is worth all it's stars and more. It was my first time baking a cheesecake and I must admit I was a little intimidated. But the recipe instructions were nice and clear and it turned out to be simple enough to prepare. I used half regular and half overripe bananas as that is what I had to hand and after baking for the 75 mins I kept the cheesecake in the oven for an hour with it turned off (at the suggestion of another reviewer). Then I allowed it to chill in the refrigerator overnight. The result was a perfectly textured, creamy bananary cheesecake which more than met my expectations and everyone enjoyed. The banana cream cheesecake from The Cheesecake Factory is the only one I buy every time and this tasted JUST like it! (I can make my own in future!). Thank you so much for sharing

    My family thought this was great. I did add 1/4 cup of banana liqueur for extra flavor. My mom thought it wasnt sweet enough. I think because she was sick.
