CHOCOLATE BANANA CHEESECAKE



Chocolate Banana Cheesecake image

Why decide between chocolate cheesecake and banana cream cheesecake when you can have both?!

Provided by Julie (Bunsen Burner Bakery)

Categories     Cheesecake

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 13

60 "Nilla" vanilla wafers
1/4 cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
1/3 cup butter (75 grams), melted
4 ounces (113 grams) bittersweet chocolate, chopped
4 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese (908 grams), room temperature
1 1/4 cups (250 grams) granulated sugar
4 eggs
1 cup (227 grams) mashed bananas (approximately 2 medium bananas)
3/4 teaspoon banana extract
1/8 (10.5 grams) cup unsweetened cocoa powder
6 ounces (170 grams) bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, chopped
3/4 cup (170 grams) heavy cream
additional whipped cream and cookies, if desired

Steps:

  • Make the crust. Preheat oven to 350F. Butter a 9-inch springform pan. Chop cookies in a food processor or crush by hand until finely ground; stir in sugar and butter until well blended. Press crumbs evenly onto the bottom of the springform pan. Bake for 5 minutes, until just set. Allow crust to cool. Reduce oven temperature to 300 °F.
  • Make the chocolate and banana cheesecake layers. Set a metal bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Add in the 4 ounces of chopped bittersweet chocolate; stir continuously until melted and smooth. Remove bowl from saucepan and cool chocolate until lukewarm but still liquid.
  • Using an electric mixer on low speed, combine cream cheese and sugar, beating until smooth. Mix in the eggs, one at a time, beating until just combined (do not overmix the batter).
  • Remove half the batter to a bowl. Add the mashed banana and banana extract to the remaining half of the batter, mixing briefly just until combined. Scoop this banana batter into a separate bowl and return the reserved unflavored batter to the mixer bowl. Add in the melted chocolate and cocoa powder, again beating just until combined.
  • Bake the cheesecake. Pour the chocolate batter into the prepared crust, followed by the banana batter. Smooth the top gently with a spatula. Bake at 300 °F for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 150 °F. The center of the cheesecake will be quite jiggly.
  • Cool the cheesecake in the oven. Once the cheesecake reaches the appropriate temperature, turn off the oven, open the oven door a few inches, and allow the cheesecake to cool in the oven for 30 minutes before removing to the counter.
  • Make the ganache. To make the ganache topping, stir whipping cream and remaining 6 ounces of chocolate in a heavy saucepan over low heat until smooth. Cool sightly before pouring over the center of the cheesecake, spreading to within 1/2 inch of the edge.
  • Refrigerate the cheesecake. Chill overnight for the best texture. Top with additional whipped cream and cookies before serving, if desired.

Provided by Sara Buenfeld

Categories     Afternoon tea, Dessert, Treat

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 13

50g butter
75g oatcakes , finely crushed
50g cream crackers
1 tbsp cocoa , plus extra for dusting
1 tbsp salted peanuts , very finely chopped, plus 1 tbsp to scatter over (optional)
2 small ripe bananas
juice 1 lemon
2 x 250g tubs ricotta
200g tub Greek yogurt
4 large eggs
½ tsp sugar-free vanilla extract
2 tbsp cornflour
200ml double cream

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and lightly oil a non-stick loose-based 22cm cake tin. Melt the butter in a pan and stir in the oatcakes, crackers, cocoa and the chopped peanuts until well coated. Press into the base of the tin to make a firm layer, then bake for 10 mins. Remove from the oven and turn up the heat to 240C/220C fan/gas 9.
  • To make the topping, mash the bananas with the lemon juice in a large bowl, then beat in the ricotta, yogurt, eggs, vanilla and cornflour until everything is very well mixed. Pour onto the biscuit base and bake for 10 mins, then turn the oven right down to 110C/90C fan/gas 1/4 and cook for 25 mins more. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside to cool. When cold, chill for 3-4 hrs. (Cooling the cheesecake this way should prevent it from cracking.)
  • To serve, remove the cheesecake from the tin and slide onto a plate. Whip the cream until it just holds its shape, then smooth over the top of the cheesecake, lightly dust with cocoa and scatter over the peanuts.
