Description

These mini Bananas Foster cheesecakes are a delicious twist on the classic dessert. With a graham cracker crust, creamy cheesecake filling, and a caramelized banana topping, they offer the perfect balance of sweet and creamy with a touch of rum flavor. A perfect dessert for banana lovers!

 


Ingredients

For the Crust:

– 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs

– 1/4 cup granulated sugar

– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Cheesecake Filling:

– 8 oz cream cheese, softened

– 1/2 cup granulated sugar

– 1 tsp vanilla extract

– 2 large eggs

– 1/4 cup sour cream

For the Bananas Foster Topping:

– 2 ripe bananas, sliced

– 1/4 cup unsalted butter

– 1/2 cup dark brown sugar

– 1 tbsp dark rum (optional)

– 1/2 tsp cinnamon

– 1/4 tsp vanilla extract


Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.

2. In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture is well combined.

3. Spoon the crust mixture into each muffin tin and press down to form a crust. Bake for 5-7 minutes, then set aside to cool.

4. In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

5. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the sour cream.

6. Spoon the cheesecake filling over the cooled crusts, filling each muffin tin about 3/4 full.

7. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until the cheesecakes are set and lightly browned on top. Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

8. For the topping, melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract, cooking until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is smooth.

9. Add the sliced bananas and cook for 2-3 minutes, until the bananas are softened and caramelized. (Optional: Add rum and cook for another minute for extra flavor.)

10. Spoon the bananas foster topping over the chilled cheesecakes just before serving.

11. Serve and enjoy!

 


Notes

– The rum in the topping is optional. If you prefer a non-alcoholic version, skip the rum and cook the bananas in the butter and brown sugar mixture.

– You can make these mini cheesecakes ahead of time and store them in the fridge for up to 3 days.

– Top with whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for extra indulgence.
