CHEESECAKE:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and lemon juice until smooth and creamy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Stir in the sour cream and mashed banana, ensuring a smooth and homogeneous mixture.
- Pour the cheesecake batter into the prepared crust, spreading it evenly.
- Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
- Turn off the oven and prop the door open slightly, allowing the cheesecake to cool gradually to room temperature.
- Once cooled, refrigerate the cheesecake until ready to serve.
Tips:
- For best results, use room temperature cream cheese and eggs to ensure a smooth and creamy cheesecake batter.
- Be cautious not to overmix the batter, as this can lead to a dense cheesecake texture.
- Allow the cheesecake to cool slowly in the oven to prevent cracking.
- Customize your Chimpanzee Cheesecake by topping it with fresh fruit, whipped cream, or a drizzle of caramel sauce before serving.
