  • ¼ tsp Cinnamon powder
  • 3 tbsp Unsalted Butter at room temperature

Instructions

For Base

  • If you have graham crackers, start by crushing them. Put them in a zip-lock bag and crush them with the help of a rolling pin.
  • Preheat the oven to 350-degrees F.
  • Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and butter in a medium mixing bowl.
  • Fold them until well combined.
  • Now take an 8 to 9 inches spring form pan, grease it with cooking spray or butter.
  • Add the crumbs to the prepared pan and press them down with the help of the back of a spoon.
  • Bake the crumb base for 5 to 8 minutes.
  • Let the base cool at room temperature for 15 minutes at least.

For Filling

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk the cream cheese and sugar until well combined.
  • Add whipping topping or cream to the cream cheese mixture and mix well.
  • Now pour in the vanilla, condense milk, 2% milk, and instant Banana cream pudding. Fold them until combined.
  • Note: If the cream cheese mixture is thinning, put it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before using.
  • Start building up the cheesecake by placing the bananas over the base. Make sure to cover the base with bananas.
  • Pour about 1/3 of the cream cheese mixture over the bananas and flatten it out.
  • Again, place the banana over the cream cheese mixture, do not press them down.
  • Pour 1/3 of cream cheese over it.
  • Repeat until placing banana and pour cream cheese layer over for the third time.
  • Lastly, cover the cake with the crumbs of 2 sheets of graham cracker from toppings.
  • Now place the cake in the refrigerator for at least 1 to 2 hours or a maximum of 8 hours.

For Topping

  • In a pan, melt down the butter at low heat.
  • Add light brown sugar to the butter and let it simmer on the lowest heat.
  • Add cinnamon and bananas to the melted sugar and let it bubble and caramelize for a minute. Also, pour the sugar mixture over the bananas from the same pan to cook them evenly.

Notes

Keep a close eye on the banana to avoid burning the sugar.
Now serve the rested Banana cream cheesecake with the topping of warm caramelized bananas, and enjoy!
