Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Blend 1 ½ cups of vanilla wafers in a food processor until fine crumbs. Mix with ½ cup melted butter. Line a cupcake pan and press the mixture into the bottom of each liner. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown, then let cool.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat 8 oz softened cream cheese and ½ cup sugar together until smooth. Fold in 2 mashed bananas gently until fully combined.
  3. Fill each cooled crust with the banana filling, about three-quarters full. Smooth the tops with a spatula.
  4. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
  5. Top each cheesecake with whipped cream, banana slices, and a maraschino cherry. Drizzle with chocolate sauce before serving.
