Ingredients:

 

For the Crust:

Graham Cracker Crumbs: 2 cups

Unsalted Butter: 1/2 cup (1 stick), melted

Granulated Sugar: 1/4 cup

For the Cheesecake Filling:

Cream Cheese: 3 packages (24 ounces), softened

Granulated Sugar: 1 cup

Vanilla Extract: 2 teaspoons

Heavy Cream: 1 cup

Lemon Juice: 2 tablespoons

For the Fruit Layers:

Fresh Strawberries: 2 cups, sliced

Bananas: 2 large, sliced

Strawberry Sauce: 1/2 cup (store-bought or homemade)

Banana Sauce: 1/2 cup (store-bought or homemade)

Rainbow Sprinkles: for garnish (optional)

Whipped Cream: for topping (optional)

Instructions:

 

Prepare the Crust:

In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix

until the crumbs are evenly coated and the mixture resembles wet sand.

Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even crust. Use the

back of a spoon or a measuring cup to compact the crust.

Refrigerate the crust while you prepare the filling.

Make the Cheesecake Filling:

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and

creamy.

Gradually add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract, beating until well combined.

Pour in the heavy cream and lemon juice, continuing to beat until the mixture is light and fluffy.

Assemble the Cheesecake:

Spread a thin layer of the cheesecake filling over the chilled crust.

Arrange a layer of sliced strawberries over the filling, followed by a layer of sliced bananas.

Drizzle strawberry sauce and banana sauce over the fruit layers.

Pour the remaining cheesecake filling over the fruit, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Chill and Set:

Refrigerate the assembled cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow it to set and the

flavors to meld together.

Decorate and Serve:

Once the cheesecake is fully set, remove it from the springform pan and transfer it to a serving plate.

Garnish with additional slices of strawberries and bananas on top. Drizzle more strawberry and

banana sauce over the top.

Add a dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle rainbow sprinkles for a festive touch, if desired.

Slice and Enjoy:

Use a sharp knife to cut the cheesecake into slices. Serve chilled and enjoy the rich, creamy texture

paired with the fresh, fruity flavors.

Tips for the Perfect Banana-Strawberry Cheesecake Fantasy:

 

Fresh Ingredients: Use fresh, ripe strawberries and bananas for the best flavor and texture.

Room Temperature Cream Cheese: Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing

to achieve a smooth filling.

Chilling Time: Allow the cheesecake to chill for the recommended time to ensure it sets properly and

holds its shape when sliced.

Fruit Garnish: Add the fruit garnish just before serving to keep it fresh and vibrant.

Nutritional Benefits:

 

Strawberries:

Rich in vitamins C and K, folate, potassium, and antioxidants, strawberries support immune health and

reduce inflammation.

Bananas:

High in potassium, fiber, and vitamins B6 and C, bananas help regulate blood pressure and support

heart health.

Cream Cheese:

Provides a good source of calcium and protein, essential for bone health and muscle maintenance.
