- 1 1/2 cups graham crackers or digestive biscuits, crushed
- 1/2 cup mixed nuts (pecans, walnuts, almonds), finely chopped
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 ripe banana, sliced (for layering)
- 1/3 cup caramel sauce (plus more for topping)
- Optional: sea salt flakes for garnish
- In a bowl, combine crushed graham crackers, chopped nuts, and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the base of a springform pan or serving dish. Chill in the fridge while preparing the filling.
- In another bowl, beat softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Add sour cream (or yogurt) and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
- Gently fold in mashed bananas until evenly distributed throughout the filling.
- Spread two-thirds of the filling over the chilled crust. Arrange banana slices in a single layer over the filling.
- Top with remaining filling and smooth the surface with a spatula.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the cheesecake to fully set.
- Before serving, drizzle with caramel sauce and sprinkle with extra chopped nuts and sea salt flakes if using.
Notes
- To prevent bananas from browning, lightly coat slices with lemon juice before layering.
- For best slicing, dip your knife in hot water and wipe clean between cuts.
- Use gluten-free biscuits for a gluten-free version.
- Chill crust well to help it maintain its crunch.
