If you love bananas this is the cheesecake for you. Not only is it a very easy cheesecake to make but the bananas, cream cheese and sour cream make a great combination. If you want a more pronounced banana flavor eliminate the sour cream and/or top the cake with a layer of sliced bananas.

I love cheesecake and I love bananas in baked goods! I never thought of combining the two of them. It sounds wonderful. Before the summer is out I will make an effort to try this one. I love dessert! Thanks for the recipe.
