I love this easy delicious desert. Looks very pretty too. I made mine in a 9" ceramic square dish for 'squares'.

This recipe was soooo good with an excellent taste. The top layer was not quite firm enough though (this could have been my fault and not the recipe). Next time I make it I will probably mix in more Cool Whip with the pudding mixture and I also coated the bananas with a little lemon juice to prevent them from browning. Overall, everyone in the family was VERY pleased with the cheesecake and it will definitely be added to my cookbook. Thanks for posting it!
