Main Ingredients
- 1 cup cookie butter
- 2 cups cream cheese
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup crushed vanilla wafers
- 1/2 cup sliced bananas for topping
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for layering, although the recipe mainly sets in the refrigerator.
- Mix Base: In a mixing bowl, combine cookie butter and cream cheese until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Add Flavorings: Stir in the powdered sugar, mashed bananas, and vanilla extract until all ingredients are fully incorporated into a uniform batter.
- Whip Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks. This will add lightness and volume to the cheesecake mixture.
- Fold Cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cookie butter mixture, preserving the airy texture without deflating it.
- Layer Wafers: Spread crushed vanilla wafers evenly over the bottom of your cake pan, creating a crunchy base layer for the cheesecake.
- First Cheesecake Layer: Spread half of the cheesecake mixture over the wafer layer, smoothing it out with a spatula for even coverage.
- Second Layers: Add another layer of crushed vanilla wafers on top of the first cheesecake layer, followed by the remaining cheesecake mixture spread evenly over it.
- Chill: Refrigerate the assembled cake for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow the cheesecake to set and flavors to meld.
- Add Topping and Serve: Before serving, top the chilled cheesecake with sliced bananas for decoration and a fresh burst of flavor.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon to the cheesecake mixture to enhance the banana and cookie butter notes.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days to maintain freshness and texture.
