Description
A decadent Almond Crust Banana Caramel Cheesecake topped with ripe bananas and caramel sauce, perfect for cheesecakes lovers.
Ingredients
- Almond Flour: Serves as the base for the crust, giving it a nutty flavor and texture.
- Butter: Unsalted butter is used to bind the crust together and enhance flavors.
- Granulated Sugar: Provides sweetness to the crust and the cheesecake filling.
- Ripe Bananas: Mashed ripe bananas add natural sweetness and contribute to the cheesecake’s creamy texture.
- Cream Cheese: The primary ingredient in the cheesecake filling that provides its rich and creamy texture.
- Eggs: Helps bind the ingredients together and contributes to the cheesecake’s structure.
- Vanilla Extract: Enhances the flavor profile of both the crust and the filling.
- Caramel Sauce: Drizzled on top for a delicious finishing touch, providing richness and flavor.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan for easy removal.
- In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until crumbly, then press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the springform pan to form the crust.
- In another bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add in sugar, beaten eggs, mashed bananas, and vanilla extract, mixing well until completely blended.
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the almond crust in the springform pan. Tap the pan lightly on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly.
- Allow the cheesecake to cool completely at room temperature before refrigerating for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
- Before serving, drizzle the caramel sauce generously over the top of the cheesecake and garnish with banana slices if desired.
Notes
Use room temperature ingredients for a smoother batter. Chill the cheesecake overnight for the best flavor and texture.
