Banoffee Cheesecake
Creamy, dreamy, and utterly indulgent, this banoffee cheesecake recipe is a caramel-banana sensation that’s guaranteed to steal the show!
Ingredients
Method
Preheat the oven to 180°C, (160°C for fan ovens), Gas Mark 4. Double wrap the outside of the cake tin in clingfilm.
Mix together the crushed biscuits and melted buttery spread. Press into the base of the tin and chill for 10 minutes.
Beat the cream cheese until soft in a food processor (or with an electric hand mixer) and then add the remaining ingredients except the caramel. Beat until very smooth. Gently pour the mixture over the set biscuit base. Sit the cheesecake in a roasting tin. Beat the caramel in a small bowl and then gently swirl most of it into the creamy filling, saving a little for decoration.
Pour very hot water into the roasting tin to come halfway up the sides of the cake tin. Bake in the centre of the oven for 1 hour. Turn off the oven, without opening the door, and leave for 1 hour to set. Cool and then chill for 4 hours or overnight.
Remove the cheesecake from the tin and serve topped with fresh banana and drizzled with the remaining caramel.

Is this Banoffee Cheesecake Recipe the Ultimate Decadent Dessert?
What do you get if you cross banoffee pie, cheesecake, and pure indulgence? With a buttery digestive biscuit crust at the heart of this delectable dessert, this banoffee cheese cake layers creamy soft cheese, velvety caramel, and ripe bananas for a dessert that’s as rich in flavour as it is in texture.
The filling of this brilliant banoffee cheesecake recipe is a perfect balance of tangy cream cheese, sweet caramel-flavoured condensed milk, and fragrant vanilla extract. Fresh banana and crème fraîche is blended in, creating bursts of fruity, creamy sweetness in every bite. To finish, grated chocolate or (preferably, and) extra caramel drizzle provides the ultimate decadent touch.
For variations on this banoffee pie cheesecake recipe, try swapping digestive biscuits for oaty or biscoff biscuits, and you can even add a splash of rum to the caramel for a boozy kick or garnish with banana chips for added crunch.
