Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9-inch springform pan by greasing it or lining the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. Mash 3-4 ripe bananas in a large mixing bowl. Add flour, brown sugar, eggs, and melted butter, stirring until combined.
  3. In another bowl, beat together cream cheese, granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and heavy cream until smooth and creamy.
  4. Spoon dollops of banana bread batter and cheesecake batter alternately into the prepared pan, avoiding swirling.
  5. Place the pan in a larger baking dish with hot water and bake for approximately 75-90 minutes until set but slightly jiggly.

  7. Frost the top with cream cheese buttercream before serving.
