BANANA CREAM CHEESECAKE
On my most recent trip to Hawaii, our resort was located right next to a Cheesecake Factory. It’s not why I booked the resort but when I noticed online I knew it was fate. I don’t know how you guys roll but as soon as I book a hotel I immediately search the perimeter for restaurants. Thank you Google maps!
My husband and I ate at Cheesecake twice while we were there and when it came to their monster dessert menu, my eyes went right to the fresh banana cream cheesecake. Now that I’m home I wanted to recreate this amazing cake since it will be awhile before we cross the border again. If you’re going from Canada to the US, the exchange hurts your feelings and bank account. It’s still painful to look at the ol’ mastercard!
To make the banana cream cheesecake I made a banana flavored filling over a vanilla crust and topped it with the easiest banana cream, fresh sliced bananas and banana flavored whipped cream. It seems like a lot of banana but is surprisingly not overpowering.
I figured since I was going through all the work of the cheesecake I’d skip the homemade Bavarian cream. Instead, I found a cooked banana pudding mix and substituted heavy cream for some of the milk. The result is a thick, super easy banana cream topping!
I made my cheesecake in an 8 inch pan. No need to break out the spring form pan for this one.
