A cream cheese banana filling with slices of banana added sit on top of a cookie crust and topped with a homemade whipped topping.  Now try to only eat one!

Add cupcake liners to a cupcake pan.  Combine the vanilla wafer cookie crumbs, sugar and melted butter.  Divide the mixture between the cupcake liners (about 2 tablespoons per cup) and press into the bottoms.  Bake the crust for 5 minutes then remove from oven.  Allow to cool while you make the filling.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Filling and Topping<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent:.25in;\">Reduce oven to 300 degrees.  In a large bowl, mix the cream cheese, sugar, and flour until combined.  Scrape down the sides of the bowl.  Add the sour cream and mashed bananas.  Beat on low-speed until well combined.  Add the vanilla extract and the first egg and beat slowly until mostly combined.  Add the remaining egg and mix until well combined.  Add a small amount of filling to each cheesecake cup, then add a couple of banana slices on top.  Add additional filling on top of the banana slices, filling each up until mostly full.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent:.25in;\">Bake the cheesecakes for 18-20 minutes, then turn off the oven and leave the door closed for another 5 minutes.  Crack the oven door and allow cheesecakes to cool for 15-20 minutes, then put in the fridge to finish cooling.  When cheesecakes are cooled, remove them from the pan.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent:.25in;\">To make the whipped cream, add the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar and vanilla extract to a large mixer bowl.  Whip on high-speed until stiff peaks form.  Pipe a swirl of whipped cream on tip of each cheesecake and finish off with a banana slice and vanilla wafer.  Refrigerate until ready to serve.  Cheesecakes are best when well covered for 2-3 days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Banana pudding made into cheesecake! Wow, these little bites are insanely good!
