Easy and delicious cheesecake. Looks fancy when served drizzled with caramel sauce!

Ingredients

2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/3 cup margarine, melted
1/4 cup white sugar
3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup white sugar
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup mashed banana
1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
1 (14 ounce) package individually wrapped caramels, unwrapped
1 banana, sliced

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2 In a medium bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted margarine. Press into the bottom of a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
3 In another bowl, mix together the cream cheese and 3/4 cup sugar until smooth. Blend in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla and mashed banana. Pour into the prepared crust.
4 Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the center is set. Cool, and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
5 Combine evaporated milk and caramels in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook stirring frequently until caramels are melted and the mixture is smooth. Garnish the cheesecake with banana slices, and drizzle caramel sauce over.
