Banana Fudge Cheesecake

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Beat cream cheese and sugar in a bowl on medium speed until smooth and fluffy. Slowly add vanilla and eggs to mixture. Mix in the sour cream.

Remove 1/3 of the cheese mixture to a small bowl and stir in melted chocolate. Add mashed bananas to the non-chocolate mixture.

Line the bottom of a 12-inch springform pan with foil and put the pan back together. Combine crumbs and melted butter and pack into the bottom of the pan.

Pour about two-thirds of the banana mixture into the pan. Add the chocolate mixture. Finish with the remainder of the banana mixture.

Bake for 15 minutes, lower temperature to 225 degrees F and bake for approximately 1 hour more.
