Ironically, I left out the milk. I was worried, but found this recipe to be delicious. The grainy texture of the brown sugar, then the burst of lemon flavor, and then finally the banana cream cheese flavor...delighted my senses...try it without the milk. Its more of a dense NY style...which is absolutly delicious

I thought this was a delicious recipe, & it was really easy to make. I plan on preparing it again using different fruits.

Really easy to make, only thing I would recommend is to plan on using it all up the same day you make it. The bananas tend to turn rubbery after it has been in the refrigerator overnight. Otherwise it has a great flavor. I would use this crust and the cheesecake part alone as well. Probably would be good with cherries.

I thought this was so simple and it tasted wonderful. My teenagers loved it and my daughter suggested using apple pie filling in place of the bananas. I think I'll try that next time. I used lite cream cheese and lite whipped topping and it had a fantastic flavor.

Fantastic use of a cake mix! This would be great with chocolate chips in it or with a chocolate top layer. (1 1/2 cups frozen cool whip with 3 squares Baker's Semi-Sweet Baking Chocolate - Microwave on high for 1 minute, stirring every 30 seconds. Spread over the cheese cake and refrigerate!)
