ingredients
3/4 cup pecan halves
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
2 medium bananas, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons dark rum, optional
2 packages (8 ounce size) cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup sour cream
3 large eggs, room temp, slightly beaten
1 tablespoon heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
directions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Place pecans on baking sheet; toast in oven about 8 minutes. Check frequently to avoid burning; set aside. Leave oven on.
Melt 1 Tbsp of the butter in non-stick skillet over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar; cook, stirring frequently, until melted, about 6 minutes. Add 2 sliced bananas; cook until bananas are caramelized and soft enough to mash with back of spoon. Remove from heat; set aside. Stir in rum, (if using). Combine cream cheese and 1 cup of sugar in large bowl of electric mixer. Beat until completely blended. Add sour cream, eggs, vanilla and heavy cream, add caramelized banana mixture; beat until incorporated. Put remaining tablespoon of butter, remaining 1/2 cup sugar and toasted pecans in food processor fitted with metal blade. Process until finely ground; press on bottom of ungreased 8-inch springform pan.
Pack down firmly using palm of hand. Pour filling mixture over crust. Place pan inside larger pan and put on oven rack. Add water to depth of 2 inches. Bake until firm to touch, about 1-1/2 hours. Remove from oven; let sit on wire rack 1 hour. Refrigerate, covered, at least 3 hours or overnight before serving.
For a lower fat version: substitute light butter, 1 8-oz fat-free cream cheese plus 1 8-oz light cream cheese, low fat sour cream, and 1 egg plus 2 egg whites for the three eggs.

The texture of the cheesecake was good (not always the case when using lower fat cream cheese). However, the banana flavor was barely detectable which was disappointing. Maybe try using banana flavored rum or banana extract in place of the dark rum.

I made this cheesecake and though I don't like cheesecake, my guests LOVED it.
In the instruction section the recipe calls for sour cream but there is no sour cream listed in the ingredients.
