BANANA CHEESECAKE WITH BANANA CREAM PIE TOPPING

Banana Cheesecake with Banana Cream Pie Topping image

This simple recipe is a combination of banana cheesecake and banana cream pie all rolled into one dessert! It uses an Oreo®-cookie crust instead of the traditional graham cracker crust, adding a bit of a chocolate accent. Plus, it uses fat-free cream cheese, but proves to taste rich and creamy for a banana-y treat! Garnish with whipped cream and sliced bananas, if desired.

2 cups crushed chocolate sandwich cookies (such as Oreo®)

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
