We so enjoyed this cheesecake! I've never had the one from Cheesecake Factory — but I can't imagine it could be any creamier or more delicious than this one!!! I did leave it in the oven for an hour after it was done baking (after I turned the oven off) — per the recommendations of some of the other reviewers. I have no idea if that added to the creaminess of the cheesecake — but it was the best we've EVER had. I used some low-sugar/low-fat cookies and also used Splenda. It worked great. This is just a wonderful recipe and I know I will be making it again and again for special occasions. Thank you for posting the recipe.

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 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.
