This hails from a very old issue of Cooking Light Magazine. My mom made this and it doesn't taste light. Well, as light as cheesecake can get anyway.
Ingredients:
1 cup packaged chocolate cookie crumb (such as oreo)
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon butter or 1/2 cup margarine, melted
cooking spray
3 (8 ounce) blocks fat free cream cheese, softened
1 (8 ounce) package reduced-fat cream cheese, softened
1 (8 ounce) carton low-fat sour cream
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups mashed ripe bananas
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 large eggs
1/3 cup canned crushed pineapple in juice, drained
1/3 cup strawberry syrup
1/3 cup chocolate syrup
1/4 cup chopped pecans, toasted
16 maraschino cherries, drained
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 325°.
2. To prepare crust, combine first 3 ingredients in a bowl; toss with a fork until moist. Press into bottom of a 9-inch springform pan coated with cooking spray.
3. To prepare filling, beat cheeses and sour cream at high speed of a mixer until smooth. Add 1 1/2 cups sugar, banana, flour, and vanilla; beat well. Add eggs, 1 at a time; beat well after each addition.
4. Pour cheese mixture into prepared pan; bake at 325° for 1 hour and 10 minutes or until almost set. Cheesecake is done when the center barely moves when pan is touched. Remove cheesecake from oven; run a knife around outside edge. Cool cheesecake to room temperature. Cover and chill for at least 8 hours. Top each serving with 1 teaspoon pineapple, 1 teaspoon strawberry syrup, 1 teaspoon chocolate syrup, 3/4 teaspoon pecans, and 1 cherry.
