    1 T butter or stick margarine, melted
    Cooking spray

    Filling:

    1 (8-oz) block 1/3-less-fat cream cheese, softened
    1 (8-oz) carton low-fat sour cream
    1-1/2 C sugar

    1/3 C strawberry sundae syrup
    1/3 C chocolate syrup
    1/4 C chopped pecans, toasted
    16 maraschino cherries, drained

    Recipe



    1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

    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 degrees 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.
    Yield: 16 servings (serving size: 1 wedge with toppings).
