    • 3 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened

    • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
    • 1/2 cup roasted peanuts, chopped
  • For Topping:

    • Sliced bananas, caramel sauce, and whole peanuts for garnish

Instructions

  • Prepare the Crust:
    • In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 1/4 cup sugar. Mix until well combined.
    • Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create an even layer.
    • Chill the crust in the refrigerator while preparing the cheesecake filling.
  • Make the Cheesecake Filling:
    • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and 3/4 cup sugar together until smooth and creamy.
    • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
    • Mix in the vanilla extract and mashed bananas until fully incorporated.
  • Assemble the Cheesecake:
    • Pour the cheesecake batter over the chilled crust, spreading it evenly.
    • Sprinkle the chopped peanuts over the top of the cheesecake batter.
    • Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 50 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  • Cool and Garnish:
    • Allow the cheesecake to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best results.
    • Before serving, drizzle caramel sauce over the top of the cheesecake and garnish with sliced bananas and whole peanuts.

Notes

  • Serving Suggestions: Serve this cheesecake chilled for a refreshing dessert. For a lighter version, substitute low-fat cream cheese.
  • Storage: Store in the fridge for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
  • Variations: For extra banana flavor, consider adding a layer of sliced bananas between the crust and the filling.
