BANANA PEANUT BUTTER CHEESECAKE AKA "THE ELVIS"

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch cake pan and line the bottom with a circle of waxed paper.
• Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, 3/4 teaspoon banana extract, and 3 tablespoons sugar in a bowl until mixture holds together; transfer into bottom of prepared cake pan. Use a second 8-inch cake pan to press the crust firmly.
• Bake in the preheated oven until crust is lightly browned, about 8 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• Pour water to a depth of about 1 inch into the bottom of a double boiler and bring to a boil. Place peanut butter chips and half-and-half into the top of the boiler and set over the bottom of the boiler (boiling water shouldn't touch top boiler). Stir until the chips have melted and the mixture is smooth; set aside to cool.
• Place cream cheese into the mixing bowl of a stand mixer and slowly mix, using paddle attachment, until cream cheese is smooth. Increase speed to medium and beat in 1/2 cup sugar. Beat eggs into mixture, 1 at a time, blending the next egg in after the previous one is fully incorporated. Beat in bananas, vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon banana extract, and lemon juice, stopping occasionally to scrape the sides of the bowl. Finally, beat in peanut butter chip mixture until cheesecake batter is smooth and even. Pour filling into the graham cracker crust.
• Set the cheesecake on a large baking pan. Pour enough water into the baking pan to reach most of the way up the sides of the cheesecake pan, creating a water bath. Bake cheesecake in the preheated oven until filling is set, about 1 hour. Turn off oven, open door, and let cheesecake cool slowly in the oven for 1 hour.
• Run a knife around the inside of the cheesecake pan and flip the pan over onto a cooling rack. Place a dish towel on the bottom of the pan. Use a hot water-filled tea kettle to rub the dish towel, gently heating the bottom of the cheesecake; slowly remove pan. Place a serving platter on top and use the wire rack to flip the cake back over onto platter. Refrigerate cheesecake for 8 hours.

PEANUT BUTTER BANANA PUDDING CHEESECAKE RECIPE - (4/5)

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine cream cheese and vanilla pudding with a hand mixer . Beat until mixture is fluffy and well combined. Add sour cream and powdered sugar, mix until smooth. Gently fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture, then divide mixture evenly into 2 medium bowls. Fold chopped bananas into mixture in one bowl, and fold peanut butter into the other bowl mixture. Add peanut butter mixture first to prepared crust and smooth into an even layer. Add an even layer of Nilla wafers on top of peanut butter layer, then top with banana cream cheese mixture. Smooth into an even layer and refrigerate until firm, about 4 hours. Drizzle pie with 2 tablespoons peanut butter. Pipe dollops of whipped cream around the edges of the pie and top each dollop with a slice of banana and a Nilla wafer.

FROZEN BANANA & PEANUT BUTTER CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Several hours before, place 2 bananas in the freezer until the skins go black, then remove and defrost. You'll be left with really soft bananas. Peel, then mash well and set aside.
• Mix the butter and biscuits together, then press into a 22cm springform cake tin. Whip the cream until it just holds its shape. In a separate bowl, beat the sugar, soft cheese and vanilla together until completely combined. In another bowl, beat the peanut butter to loosen it.
• Fold the cheese mixture into the peanut butter, then tip in the mashed banana and gently fold in the cream. Spread the mix over the biscuit base and smooth the top. Freeze for several hours or preferably overnight. To serve, leave the cake in the fridge for 20 mins, then run a knife around the side and remove the sides of the tin. Slice the remaining banana and use to decorate the cheesecake.
