STRAWBERRY BANANA CHEESECAKE (LIGHT OR FULL FAT VERSIONS)
Combining Recipe #80301 and acclaimed recipe for strawberry cheesecake on Allrecipes.com, I came up with this tweaked, potentially healthier version with full taste.

Light and low-fat worked well for me. And using the cooling technique listed below, I managed to get no cracks!
