Banana Crust Cheesecake

Banana Crust Cheesecake

Happy June, It’s my birthday today and am celebrating with this delicious Banana Crust Cheese Cake. This cheese cake is like eating two cakes at once.

This recipe was created by a mistake. I wasn’t planning on making a cheese cake, I was making blueberry banana bread in a spring form pan, maybe it wasn’t the right pan or it could have been because  I  opened the oven to take a peek,

I don’t know but my banana cake was not as raised as I would have like. now what? Well now lets make an unbaked cheese cake… Introducing Banana bread Cheesecake!!!!

Making the Banana Crust Cheesecake

Start by making the bottom banana crust. I mashed the ripe bananas with a fork than added the rest of the ingredients. The crust needs to cool completely before

filling it with the cheese mixture. Be sure to dissolve the gelatin in warm milk before mixing it into the cream cheese mixture. I topped the cake with a mixture of sliced bananas, toss them in a little  lemon juice to prevent browning , walnuts and shredded coconut.

Don’t let the looks of this cheese cake intimidate you, it’s easy to make and a new way to use those over ripe bananas.

If you make this recipe please leave me a comment and don.t forget to tag me on Instagram with your creations. I love hearing from you!!!!!
