Banana Pudding Cheesecake 🍌🍰

3️⃣ Bake the Cheesecake

1. Pour the filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top.
2. Place the springform pan in a larger roasting pan. Fill the outer pan with 1 inch of hot water (water bath helps prevent cracking).
3. Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until the center is slightly set but still jiggles gently.
4. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for 1 hour with the door closed.

4️⃣ Chill & Serve

1. Remove from oven and water bath. Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
2. Before serving, top with whipped cream, banana slices, and crushed vanilla wafers if desired.
