Ingredients

Scale

Cheesecake Mixture

  • 1 cup cookie butter
  • 2 cups cream cheese
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy cream

Layers

  • 1 cup crushed vanilla wafers
  • 1/2 cup sliced bananas for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for layering the cake and setting the structure, although baking is not required in this recipe.
  2. Mix Base Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the cookie butter and cream cheese until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated, creating the creamy base for the cheesecake.
  3. Add Sweeteners and Flavor: Stir in the powdered sugar, mashed bananas, and vanilla extract into the cookie butter and cream cheese mixture until all ingredients are fully combined, adding sweetness and banana flavor.
  4. Whip Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, adding lightness and volume to the cheesecake filling.
  5. Fold in Whipped Cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cookie butter mixture to create a fluffy and smooth cheesecake filling without deflating the whipped cream.
  6. Layer Crushed Wafers: Spread crushed vanilla wafers evenly on the bottom of a cake pan to form the crunchy base layer of the cake.
  7. First Cheesecake Layer: Spread half of the cheesecake mixture over the crushed wafers, distributing it evenly to ensure consistent flavor and texture.
  8. Second Layer: Add another layer of crushed vanilla wafers on top of the first cheesecake layer for added crunch and contrast.
  9. Top with Remaining Filling: Spread the remaining cheesecake mixture over the second layer of wafers, covering it completely to finish the layered structure.
  10. Chill: Refrigerate the assembled cake for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight, allowing it to set and the flavors to meld together perfectly.
  11. Garnish and Serve: Just before serving, top the chilled cake with the sliced bananas for a fresh, decorative, and flavorful finish.

Notes

  • Ensure the bananas are ripe for natural sweetness and better flavor integration.
  • Do not overfold the whipped cream to maintain a light, airy texture in the cheesecake.
  • For best results, refrigerate overnight to allow the flavors to develop fully.
  • Use fresh vanilla wafers for a crisp texture contrast.
  • To make slicing easier, run a warm knife under hot water, dry it, then cut the cake.
