Very dry and not sweet at all. Will not make this again. Nobody really liked it

Took this to a dinner party and someone said it was "stupid good". Several reviewers mentioned a lack of banana flavor so I used 2 1/2 bananas on the bottom then a half on top of the cool whip and it had plenty of flavor. Only problem was that it seemed too soft in the middle. Not sure if it's supposed to be pudding like or if it needed to be baked longer.

Didn't take much time to put together, and cheesecake is always a hit with my family.

I've made this several times, and everyone always raves about how good it is. The banana flavor cuts the tartness that cheesecakes usually have, so even those who don't generally enjoy a lot of "sweets" have enjoyed this!

fantastic taste. only problem was the banana's started to brown after a few days in the fridge...the cheesecake was still good. I suggest more lemon juice.
