This cheesecake is a great way to use up ripe bananas. It's also a very easy recipe to follow.

I'm not a big fan of chocolate and banana together, but I thought this cheesecake was really good. The cheesecake itself is very light and fluffy, and the chocolate and banana flavors are subtle but still noticeable.

I thought this cheesecake was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

The crust was a bit too thick for my liking, but the cheesecake itself was delicious.

This cheesecake was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred a less sweet chocolate or even a dark chocolate.

This cheesecake was a hit at my last dinner party! The combination of chocolate, banana, and cheesecake is divine. I especially loved the graham cracker crust. It was the perfect balance of sweet and crunchy.
