Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz Cream cheese
- 1.5 cups Mashed ripe bananas
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 3 large Eggs
- 2 tsp Vanilla extract
- 2 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tbsp Unsalted butter (melted)
- 12 oz Chocolate chips
- 1 cup Heavy cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust. Set it aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy.
Add the mashed bananas, eggs (one at a time), and vanilla extract to the mixture, beating until fully incorporated.
Pour the cheesecake mixture over the prepared crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Remove and let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Once the cheesecake is chilled, prepare the chocolate wrap. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and heavy cream together in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth and glossy.
Carefully remove the chilled cheesecake from the springform pan and place it onto a wire rack over a baking sheet.
Pour the melted chocolate over the cheesecake, letting it drip down the sides until fully covered.
Let the chocolate shell set for 15-20 minutes at room temperature or in the fridge for faster results.
Slice and serve your Chocolate Wrapped Banana Cheesecake to wow your guests!
