Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 200g graham cracker crumbs
  • 100g melted butter

Filling

  • 500g cream cheese
  • 200g sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed

Topping

  • 150ml caramel sauce
  • 100g chopped pecans

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Mix the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter thoroughly until combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a cake pan to create an even crust layer.
  2. Make the filling: Beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition to ensure a smooth batter.
  3. Add bananas: Gently fold the mashed ripe bananas into the cream cheese mixture, ensuring even distribution without overmixing.
  4. Bake the cheesecake: Pour the banana cream cheese mixture over the prepared crust. Bake in a preheated oven at 160°C (320°F) for 50 minutes until set but still slightly jiggly in the center. Remove and allow to cool completely.
  5. Add toppings: Drizzle the caramel sauce evenly over the cooled cheesecake and sprinkle the chopped pecans on top for added crunch and flavor.
  6. Chill before serving: Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours to allow it to set fully and enhance the flavors before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas for maximum natural sweetness.
  • Room temperature cream cheese will mix more easily for a smoother batter.
  • You can substitute pecans with walnuts or almonds based on preference.
  • For a lighter caramel touch, drizzle sauce just before serving to avoid sogginess.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
