Banana Cheesecake
If you are a fan of cheesecake like me, you must try this cake with banana. This is indeed heavenly good, the cheesecake combines the sweet flavor of the ripe banana… really yummy!
Line and grease a 8″ cake pan.
- 100g Marie biscuits, crushed
- 80g Melted butter
Combine crushed biscuit crumbs and melted butter together in a mixing bowl. Press the biscuit crumbs onto the base of the prepared pan and chill in the refrigerator for later use.
- Ingredients (adapted from Taste of Home with slight adjustment)
- 2 Overly ripe bananas (about 200g) + 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
- 250g Cream cheese at room temperature
- 65g Sugar
- 4 tbsp Sour cream
- 1 tbsp Corn starch
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 2 large Eggs lightly beaten
some fresh bananas for topping
- Mash bananas and lemon juice together with a fork; set aside.
- In a mixing bowl beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Beat in the sour cream, cornstarch and vanilla extract.
- Add beaten eggs in 3 batches; beat on low speed until just combined. Fold in banana mixture and mix well.
- Pour into crust and steam bake at 160C for 40-45 minutes or center is almost set.
- Cool on wire rack for few minutes and carefully run a knife around edge of pan; cool 1 hour longer.
- For the cake decoration, top the cheesecake with sliced of fresh banana and some melted semi-sweet chocolate or ganache cream.
- To prevent the banana from turning brown, mix 1 tbsp apricot gel with 2 tbsp hot water then brush a thin layer of apricot get on cheesecake.
- Slice bananas to equal thickness and place on top of cheesecake. Brush apricot gel evenly on sliced bananas, then drizzle or pipe melted chocolate over it.
- Chill cheesecake for several hours or till next day before serving.
- For cutting cake – dip your knife in hot water and quickly dry it off before each cut.
Enjoy a thick piece of this cheesecake with a cup of hot coffee!
Hello,
Thank you for this wonderful cheesecake recipe. I made it today and it came out great!
Instead of using sour cream, i used yoghurt instead and added a hint of cinnamon to the bananas. Simply delicious! Thank you! Love all your posts!
Hi, Thank you for trying the recipe. Sounds great with some cinnamon powder in the cheesecake. Wish I can a slice of it 🙂

Hi Samantha,
you can refer to my checkerboard cake, the ganache cream is there
https://www.anncoojournal.com/2011/01/checkerboard-chocolate-cake.html
I always made extra and keep the remaining in the fridge, so I can use it any time.
If you're using semi sweet choc, just melt it will do.
Hope this helps 🙂
Hi Anncoo,
Your cheesecake looks yummy!!! Do you need to add any butter etc to melt the chocolate for drizzling? If so, what's the proportion of butter and chocolate? Thanking you for your advice.

Bananas goes well with choc cakes. Have never tried them with cheesecake though but I believe the combination works just as well.

Hi Lyndsey, yes I can see you…hahaa, I'll pass you the whole cake 🙂
This looks great! I love the freshly sliced bananas across the top. YUM!
I love cheesecake and banana must have added extra natural sweetness and smoothness to the whole cake. Looks totally decadent!
Trying to recall if I have seen / try any banana cheesecake before in cafes and the answer is nope. Yours looks so much presentable and prettier than any cafe cheesecake… 🙂
Oh my goodness, I haven't had bananas for months because of the price skyrocket after the flood here. (sobing)
I never tire of exclaiming WOW! every time I see your creations. My jaw just inadvertently drop in amazement! What an elegant cake this is Anncoo! You have attained perfection in cake making, I have to say! Cheers!!!
