Banana Cheesecake!

For the crust:
1 1/2 c. vanilla wafers
1/2 c. walnuts
1/4 c. melted butter

For the filling:
2 bananas, diced
1 T. lemon juice
2 T. brown sugar
3 8oz. pkg. cream cheese, softened
1 c. sugar
3 eggs
1 T. vanilla

For the garnish:
3/4 c. heavy cream
1 t. vanilla
1 T. sugar
1 banana, sliced
vanilla wafers

For the crust, pulse the vanilla wafers, walnuts, and butter in a food processor.  In a small saucepan, sauté diced bananas, lemon juice, and brown sugar for 1 minute or until sugar dissolves.  Press into a buttered and floured pie pan and bake for 10 minutes.  Meanwhile, mix cream cheese until smooth.  Add sugar, vanilla, and eggs one at a time.  Mix until smooth.  Add the sautéed bananas to the mix and stir.  Pour the mixture into the baked pie crust and bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.  While it is baking, whip the cream with vanilla and sugar until thick.  Once cheesecake is baked, let it cool and refrigerate.  Top with whipped cream, sliced bananas, and vanilla wafers before serving.
