Method

  1. Several hours before, place 2 bananas in the freezer until the skins go black, then remove and defrost. You'll be left with really soft bananas. Peel, then mash well and set aside.
  2. Mix the butter and biscuits together, then press into a 22cm springform cake tin. Whip the cream until it just holds its shape. In a separate bowl, beat the sugar, soft cheese and vanilla together until completely combined. In another bowl, beat the peanut butter to loosen it.
  3. Fold the cheese mixture into the peanut butter, then tip in the mashed banana and gently fold in the cream. Spread the mix over the biscuit base and smooth the top. Freeze for several hours or preferably overnight. To serve, leave the cake in the fridge for 20 mins, then run a knife around the side and remove the sides of the tin. Slice the remaining banana and use to decorate the cheesecake.

    I used light cream cheese and replaced the peanut butter with hazelnut butter. Put all the filling ingredients in a food processor (hence, no need to freeze the bananas). Also used silicone muffin moulds so I had individual cheesecakes. Great make ahead for unexpected guests/party. My daughter eats it straight from the freezer as ice cream!

    The appearance didn't have that wow factor but the taste was so unusual and indulgent I was very pleased I produced it.

    My nine year old daughter made this (under supervision) for a family Barbeque. Everyone loved it and she got loads of complements. Will certainly be making it again. Even when it had defrosted and wasn't as firm it was delicious.

    Doddle to make, although it uses loads of bowls! I left it out of the freezer AND fridge for 45 mins before eating it and it was still rock hard. We actually preferred the texture straight from the fridge, not the freezer. Sickly sweet and very rich. Other than that, a great dinner party pud as it can be made ahead.

    This was yummy! Followed the recipe as stated and maybe next time I'd leave it longer than 20 mins in fridge as it was still a little hard! But delicious nevertheless :) Definately be making this again.

    This was fantastic! I'd leave it in the fridge for about 40 minutes, though. It was really good when let thaw a bit extra - nice and creamy!

    I used very ripe bananas, so they were very spotted when I used them. If you use black bananas, yes the texture is softer but you lose out on some of the flavour if they're too ripe. They won't be as sweet so it's better when they're very spotted. When I first made this, I was quite dissapointed with the flavour. I took it out of the freezer and kept it in the fridge for about 3 days. Every day the flavour becuase more beautiful. It tasted great. This lasted until about day 4 of it being in the fridge when the flavour started going downhill simpy becuase it was getting old. I have also found this maturing or developing time very important for baked goods too. Try this recipe! I can't wait to make it again. It's quite unusual.
