banana pudding cheesecake on white plate and blue background with bananas and wooden spoonsI’m a California girl, born and raised. I haven’t yet left, and when I do, I’m aiming straight for New York City, but there will always be a California-ness in me. Like the fact that I have terrible road rage that causes me to cuss and flail my arms, the fact that I just bought a coat last fall, and that I have no idea what kind of shoes people even wear in the snow.

But there’s a part of me that kind of wishes I was Southern. Southern people have a charm about them that I like, they make amazing food that I want to eat every day, and there’s just something so special about the South. I’ve never been, except for Austin, TX which doesn’t count since it’s like the San Francisco of Texas. But otherwise, I’m dreaming to go to the South, engorge on the food and pick up some of that Southern charm.

I happen to have a friend named Christina who is full of Southern charm and wonderful Southern-inspired recipes. You may have heard of her – she blogs at the ever-popular site Dessert For Two where she posts effortless dinners, sides, drinks and desserts for two people. It’s the cutest little site with amazing recipes, like her Jamberry and Moonshine Cocktails (yum) or her Double Chocolate Chip Cookies.

Christina happens to be pregnant and expecting her first child very soon, so a couple bloggy friends and I decided to throw her a virtual baby shower to celebrate Christina’s greatness and her new journey into motherhood. We’re so proud of you, Christina!

You guys have to give this cheesecake a try. It’s ridic.

Prep Time10 mins

Course: Cheesecake, Dessert
Cuisine: American, Dessert
Servings: 8
Author: Hayley Parker, The Domestic Rebel

Ingredients

  • 2 (8 ounce each) pkgs cream cheese softened to room temperature
  • 2/3 cup white sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup sour cream full fat
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1-2 tsp banana extract
  • 2 medium bananas very ripe and mashed
  • 1 Nilla Wafer crust prepared or homemade
  • Whipped cream
  • Banana slices for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Place the prepared pie crust on a baking sheet and set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the cream cheese and sugar on medium-high speed until creamed, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, until blended and creamy. Lastly, beat in the sour cream, extracts and bananas until combined and mostly smooth.
  • Pour the mixture into the prepared crust, smooth out the top. Bake for approx. 35-40 minutes or until the edges are set, the top is very lightly golden brown and the center is just slightly jiggly. Cool completely to room temperature, then refrigerate for at LEAST 3 hours, preferably overnight, before topping with whipped cream and sliced bananas if you'd like.
  • Cut into squares and serve! Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Sweet, fruity and absolutely delicious, and paired with the Nilla Wafer crust, it tastes just like banana pudding. You won’t be able to resist having a second piece, I promise 🙂

    Hayley – This is the perfect baby shower treat. I’d be the first one in line for this dessert. You definitely should come to NYC. I’ve never been to California, but I did fall in love with Utah and Nevada when I visited. 🙂

    Ha, love this! I’m from the midwest (chicago) and have lived in New York and can tell you that the shoes for snow are boots. Lots of boots, and the best ones are not so attractive lol. Funnily enough the majority (like a HUGE percentage) of my blog readers are from California, so I’m all about awesome Californians! This banana pudding cheesecake sounds amazing, and like something I’m going to need to make for my husband asap, he loves banana desserts and cheesecakes…sooo…could this be any more perfect?

I’m from the south and it’s pretty cool but I’ve always wanted to spend some time in California so I guess it really is always greener huh? Ha 🙂 Anyway, this looks delicious! Enjoyed doing the shower with you! 🙂
