Instructions:
- Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Add the flour and mix until just combined.
- Pour the cheesecake filling into the cooled crust.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are lightly browned.
- Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake in the oven with the door slightly open for 1 hour.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Prepare the Banana Cream Topping:
- In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
- In another bowl, whisk together the instant banana pudding mix and cold milk until smooth and thickened.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the banana pudding mixture until well combined.
