Banana Strawberry Cheesecake Recipe

This delicious Banana Strawberry Cheesecake combines the creamy richness of cheesecake with the fresh, fruity flavors of bananas and strawberries. Perfect for a summer dessert or a special occasion, this no-bake cheesecake is light, refreshing, and full of natural sweetness. The crumbly graham cracker crust adds a delightful contrast to the smooth and velvety filling.

Ingredients:

For the crust:

• • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted

For the filling:

• 16 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream

• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2 ripe bananas, mashed
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• For the topping:
  • • 1 ½ cups fresh strawberries, sliced
    • ¼ cup strawberry jam (optional)

  Instructions:

  1. 1. Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan. Place in the fridge to chill while preparing the filling.
     2. Make the filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar, mashed bananas, and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture.
  1. Assemble the cheesecake: Pour the filling over the prepared crust, spreading it evenly. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the cheesecake is set.
  2. Prepare the strawberry topping: Once the cheesecake is set, arrange the fresh strawberry slices on top. You can also brush with strawberry jam for extra flavor and shine.
  3. Serve: Slice and serve chilled, garnished with extra strawberries or banana slices if desired. Enjoy!
