We had some friends coming over last night for a movie and I decided to put this together the night before in anticipation. Do you know how difficult it was to keep the kids away from it while it was resting in the fridge? I was able to make the crust in moments in my food processor. My only complaint is that I think the bananas weighed down the cheese, didn't let enough air get into the batter and it wasn't as fluffly and high as the cheesecakes I normally make. It was still delicious, just a bit "low riding." I served this with chocolate syrup and some good strong coffee. Thanks for posting!
