Ingredients

  • 1 pouch snack-size brownie mix plus water, oil, and eggs called for on package
  • 1 ripe banana mashed
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 12 oz cream cheese {1 ½ packages}
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2-3 tablespoon rainbow sprinkles
  • For topping: Smucker's Hot Fudge topping sprinkles, maraschino cherries, whipped cream

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325F, and spray the pans with nonstick spray.
  • Prepare the brownie mix according to package directions, and split it evenly amongst the 4 pans. Cook brownie for about 15 minutes. You don't want the brownie to be cooked all the way, as it will cook some more as the cheesecake bakes!
  • While the brownie cooks, prepare the banana cheesecake. In a small saucepan, combine the mashed banana and brown sugar, and cook on medium-low until the banana is very soft and creamy, and the sugar is caramelized. Let mixture cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, in the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the cream cheese until light and fluffy. Add in the sugar and beat well, then add in the eggs, one at a time. Finally, add in the cooled banana mixture. If desired, use a spatula to gently mix in the sprinkles.
  • Raise the oven temperature up to 350F. Divide the banana cheesecake batter evenly amongst the pans, and bake for 25-30 minutes, until cheesecake is set and the middle no longer jiggles. Let cheesecakes come to room temperature, then refrigerate overnight so that they can solidify.
  • When ready to serve, top the cheesecakes with Smucker's hot fudge topping, sprinkles, whipped cream, and maraschino cherries. Enjoy!
