Banana desserts have always been popular in our house and on this blog. One of the most favourites being my no bake banoffee cheesecake!

This recipe came about when I decided that we needed an even easier, less fuss simple ingredients recipe.

And with the festive period around the corner and budgets being extremely tight this year I made this easy banana cheesecake recipe with that in mind.

The recipe is best made with fresh bananas rather than over-ripe ones. Otherwise the bananas in the cheesecake might be a bit unsightly in colour.

This banana cheesecake recipe is nice and simple, with only about 30 minutes of effort required to make it.

The rest of the time is resting time in the fridge.

The longer you can leave it (preferably overnight) the better those banana flavours will be!

🔪 Step By Step Instructions

Detailed instructions are in the recipe card below. But here is a quick step by step guide of how to make this easy no bake banana cheesecake:

Cheesecake Base

Step 1

Blitz biscuits / graham crackers and butter in a food processor. If you do not have a food processor you could bash the biscuits in a plastic bag with a rolling pin into fine crumbs and mix with melted butter in a saucepan. Press the biscuit / graham cracker crumbs mixture into the bottom of prepared cheesecake / cake tin. Place in fridge to set completely.

To Make The Topping

Step 1

• In a large bowl mix cream cheese, icing sugar and vanilla extract.

Step 2

• In separate bowl or in a stand mixer whisk the double cream until soft peaks form. But be careful you don't want stiff peaks to form.

Step 3

• Add cream cheese mixture to whisked double cream. Stir in mashed bananas.

Step 4

• Spoon the cream cheese mixture over the biscuit base. Ensure no banana is showing in the cheesecake layer (otherwise it will go black). Smooth down.

Step 5

• Add banana slices for the topping to lemon juice, mix well. Cover in plastic wrap to make airtight.
• Chill both the cheesecake and banana slices in the fridge for at least 4 hours but preferably overnight until the cheesecake has set fully.

To Decorate The Cheesecake

Step 1

• Remove the cheesecake from the cake tin and decorate with the sliced bananas and dust over the top of the cheesecake with the cocoa powder. Serve immediately.

💭 FAQ's

Can I Use Low Fat Ingredients In This Banana Cheesecake?

Yes you can. Many of my other cheesecake recipes often use low fat ingredients. But the cheesecake takes longer to set. So for ease and to save time I'm using full fat ingredients here.

Do I Need A Stand Mixer To Make This Cheesecake?

No. A stand mixer would take the effort out of making this cheesecake but you can make it in a large mixing bowl with a whisk.

What's the best way to store this cheesecake?

Store your cheesecake in the fridge for up to 3 days in an airtight container.

Can I freeze this cheesecake?

Yes. I find it’s best to cut the cheescake up into individual slices and keep them in individual airtight containers. Freeze before you add the cheesecake topping though. Do not freeze with the bananas on top otherwise they will turn black.
