Ingredients
  

1 cup graham cracker crumbs

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

2 tablespoons sugar

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 ripe banana, mashed

1 teaspoon lemon juice

1 cup heavy whipping cream

1 cup vanilla pudding mix, prepared (according to package instructions)

1 banana, sliced (for garnish)

Whipped cream (for topping)

Mini vanilla wafers (for decoration)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.

    Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix well until all crumbs are coated.

      Form the Crusts: Divide the crust mixture evenly among the muffin tin liners, pressing down firmly with your fingers or the back of a spoon to form a solid bottom layer. Bake for 5-7 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool.

        Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and mashed banana until smooth and creamy. Add in the lemon juice and mix until well incorporated.

          Fold in the Whipped Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cheesecake mixture until it's well combined and fluffy.

            Combine with Pudding: Gently fold in the prepared vanilla pudding until just blended.

              Assemble Cheesecakes: Spoon the cheesecake filling into the cooled crusts, filling them up to the top. Smooth the tops with a spatula.

                Chill: Refrigerate for at least 3 hours (or overnight if possible) to allow the cheesecakes to set properly.

                  Garnish and Serve: Before serving, top each mini cheesecake with a dollop of whipped cream, a slice of banana, and a mini vanilla wafer for decoration.

                      - Presentation Tips: Place the mini cheesecakes on a beautiful serving platter. You can garnish with additional crushed graham crackers and a sprinkle of cinnamon for flair. Serve chilled for the best flavor!
