Equipment

  • 9-inch Springform Pan
  • skillet
  • Saucepan
  • Mixing bowl

Ingredients
  

For the Crust

  • 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 0.25 cups melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon sugar

For the Cheesecake

  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cups granulated sugar
  • 0.25 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 large eggs

For the Caramelized Bananas

  • 2 bananas, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 0.25 teaspoon cinnamon

For the Rum Glaze

  • 0.25 cups rum
  • 0.25 cups brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon water

Instructions
 

Make the Crust

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown.

Make the Cheesecake

  • In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar, flour, and vanilla extract, beating until well combined. Beat in eggs one at a time until just combined.

Bake the Cheesecake

  • Pour cheesecake batter into the prepared crust. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for another hour to cool.

Caramelize the Bananas

  • In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add sliced bananas and brown sugar. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Sprinkle with cinnamon.

Make the Rum Glaze

  • In a saucepan, combine rum, brown sugar, and water. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.

Assemble

  • Once the cheesecake is completely cool, top with caramelized bananas. Drizzle with rum glaze and serve immediately.

Notes

Get creative: Use different fruits like pineapple or mango. Make it ahead: The cheesecake can be made a day in advance. Garnish with additional fresh fruit or whipped cream.
