Banoffee Cheesecake is a decadent dessert marrying the flavors of caramel, banana, and creamy cheesecake, finished with a fluffy whipped cream topping. It’s a treat for those who love a balance of sweetness and richness in every bite.
Crust
170g crushed digestive biscuits
80g butter
Cheesecake Filling:
10ml powdered gelatine
60ml water
500g cream cheese
80g icing sugar
125g caramel
250ml whipping cream
3 bananas
To Decorate:
200ml whipping cream
45ml icing sugar
5ml vanilla
1 banana
180g caramel
CRUST
Grease and line a 22 cm loose-bottomed cake tin. Combine the biscuits and melted butter and mix well (you can do this in a food processor).
Press the mixture into the bottom of the cake tin. Place in the fridge for 30 minutes to set.
FILLING
Sprinkle the gelatine over the cold water and leave to hydrate for a few minutes. Melt in the microwave to dissolve the gelatine.
Beat together the cream cheese and icing sugar, then add the slightly cooled gelatine and the caramel. Beat well to combine, then gently fold in the whipped cream. Spoon half of the cheesecake mixture into the crust, then add the banana slices all over. Spoon the rest of the cheesecake mixture on top and place in the fridge.
