A Banana Bread recipe is a favorite for many home bakers. It is one that is quick to prepare.

Many of the ingredients you need are always on hand. Of course there can be an absence or abundance of well ripened bananas.

That is one item that can be missing in your kitchen if the kids love a good banana. Or an over ripened banana can be abundant if you keep them in the sun.

You can freeze those ripe bananas. But they don’t freeze well for long. They can get very slimy and messy. You will want to use them quickly.

If you have recently made banana bread or cake in any of the various combinations you can be looking for a different kind of recipe.

Enter the Banana Bread Cheesecake.

NOTES

The thin cheesecake layer sits atop a graham cracker crust. The crust can be purchased premade in your grocery store. Or you can easily make it at home in about 10 minutes. Either way a graham cracker crust is perfect to cradle your cheesecake layers.

Topping the creamy no bake cheesecake is a thick layer of your own banana bread.

The last layer is a thick cheesecake layer with a dusting of your banana bread crumbs.

Whether homemade or in a jar, the option of a caramel drizzle just takes this cheesecake over the top.

Don’t let a special occasion go by without enjoying your own Banana Bread Cheesecake!
