- 1 ¼ cups (300 g) mashed ripe bananas
- 2 ½ cups (315 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (225 g) unsalted butter
- ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup (120 ml) vegetable oil
- ½ cup (120 ml) buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 package (3.4 oz) instant banana pudding mix
- 2 cups (480 ml) cold milk
- 4 cups (500 g) powdered sugar
- ½ cup (120 g) creamy cookie butter

Instructions
- Oven Preparation: Calibrate oven to 325F (160C), line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper for effortless cake extraction.
- Cheesecake Foundation: Blend cream cheese and sugar until luxuriously smooth, delicately fold in eggs and vanilla extract, minimizing overmixing to preserve the ethereal texture.
- Baking Process: Distribute the silken cheesecake mixture uniformly in the prepared pan, then nestle into the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, vigilantly observing the center’s consistent set.
- Cooling Technique: Extract the baked cheesecake, allowing it to normalize to room temperature, which prevents structural fracturing and promotes even cooling.
- Refrigeration Phase: Transition the cheesecake to the refrigerator, permitting it to solidify and develop intensified flavors for a minimum of 2 hours, ensuring optimal consistency and taste integrity.
Notes
- Prevent Cracking Technique: Cool the cheesecake gradually at room temperature to minimize surface cracks, avoiding sudden temperature changes that can cause structural stress.
- Smooth Mixing Strategy: Blend cream cheese ingredients gently and minimally to maintain a silky texture, preventing overmixing which can introduce excess air and potential texture irregularities.
- Precise Baking Checkpoint: Watch the cheesecake’s center carefully during baking – it should slightly jiggle but not appear liquid, indicating perfect doneness without overbaking.
- Chilling Optimization: Allow a full 2-hour refrigeration period to develop deeper flavor complexity and ensure the cheesecake sets to an ideal consistent texture.
