  1. Avoid over-baking the cheesecake as it can result in a dry and crumbly texture.
  2. Avoid using underripe bananas as they won’t impart enough flavor to the cheesecake.
  3. Be careful not to overmix the cheesecake batter to prevent air bubbles from forming.
  4. Make sure to let the cheesecake cool properly before refrigerating to prevent condensation from forming on the surface.
  5. Avoid skipping the chilling step, as it helps the cheesecake set and develop its flavors.
