Ingredients

1 1/2 cups finely crushed vanilla wafers
1/4 cup chopped walnuts, toasted
1/4 cup butter, melted
2 large ripe bananas, diced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon coffee liqueur
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
meringue
3 egg whites
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons sugar

Steps:

Combine first 3 ingredients in a small bowl. Press evenly into bottom of a lightly greased 9-inch springform pan.
Bake at 350° for 10 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
Combine diced bananas and 1 tablespoon lemon juice in a small saucepan. Stir in 2 tablespoons brown sugar. Place over medium-high heat, and cook, stirring constantly, about 1 minute or just until sugar has melted. Set aside.
Beat cream cheese at medium speed with an electric mixer 3 minutes or until smooth. Gradually add 1 cup granulated sugar, beating until blended. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating until blended after each addition. Beat in coffee liqueur and vanilla. Pour into prepared vanilla wafer crust. Spoon tablespoonfuls of banana mixture evenly over top, and swirl gently into cream cheese mixture.
MERINGUE:.
Beat egg whites and salt at high speed with an electric mixer until foamy. Add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until soft peaks form and sugar dissolves (about 1 to 2 minutes). Set aside.
Bake cake, not Meringue, at 350° for 35 to 40 minutes or until center is almost set.
Drop spoonfuls of Meringue gently and evenly over hot filling.
Bake at 400° for 10 minutes or until Meringue is golden brown. Remove from oven, and gently run a knife around edge of cheesecake in springform pan to loosen. Cool cheesecake completely on a wire rack. Cover loosely, and chill 8 hours. Release and remove sides of pan.

I haven't tried this recipe yet, but I saw it in a Southern Living magazine and it sounds great. Refrigerating time should be taken into consideration before baking for a party, however.

Tips:

Use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your pudding will be.
Don't overmix the cheesecake batter. Overmixing can make the cheesecake tough and dense.
Bake the cheesecake in a water bath. This will help prevent the cheesecake from cracking.
Chill the cheesecake for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the cheesecake to set and firm up.
Top the cheesecake with whipped cream, banana slices, or chopped nuts before serving.
