Graham crackers: You can use a food processor to easily create your crumbs. Or, put them in a ziplock bag and roll over them with a rolling pin until they are crushed. My kids love helping with that! Brown sugar: This sweetens up the graham crackers.Butter: Use salted butter for this part of the recipe. Cream cheese: Soften this up to room temperature before mixing it in. Instant banana cream pudding: This gives you that classic banana cream flavor. Sour cream: This really adds in some creamy texture. Powdered sugar: This us used because is dissolves so nicely into the filling. Vanilla extract: This will enhance all of the sweet flavors being used in this recipe. Heavy whipping cream: 40% fat is best if you can get that! Bananas: I sliced these and used them in the cheesecake and also as a garnish on top.
