Banana Cream Pudding Cheesecake with Salted Caramel Drizzle

By

I've baked a kings sum of cheesecakes, but one that really stuck was this unfathomably delicious Banana Cream Pudding Cheesecake with a Salted Caramel Drizzle and Vanilla Wafer crust. Oh. Em. Gee. After the very first bite I was all over here like, “If you want to retain use of your fingers, do NOT approach.”

Preparation

Step 1

Place wafers in a food processor and process until ground into fine crumbs. Add melted butter and pulse until well blended. Grease either a round springform or four mini springform pans. Place cookie mixture into each pan and firmly pat into the bottom. Bake at 400 for about 5-7 minutes.

Place sliced bananas on top of the baked crust. Pour batter over bananas. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes for minis or 45 minutes for a full sized pan. The center should still be a little jiggly. Let cool on a rack for about an hour, then transfer to the fridge to cool overnight. Before serving, drizzle cakes with Salted Caramel. Top with whipped cream, cherries and additional bananas if desired.

​

* If you really like salted caramel, it can also be swirled into the batter after pouring batter into the pans.
