Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 ½ cups cream cheese, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream
  • 2 bananas, sliced
  • 1 cup strawberry compote or fresh strawberries, diced
  • 1 cup whipped cream for topping
  • Crushed vanilla wafer cookies for garnish

Optional substitutions:

  • Swap graham cracker crumbs for digestive biscuits or gluten-free crackers for a gluten-free version.
  • Use a plant-based whipped cream to make it dairy-free.

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Crust

Mix the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a bowl until fully combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a muffin tin lined with cupcake liners, forming a firm base. Chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.

Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Filling

Beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar in a large bowl until smooth and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and continue to mix until well combined.

Step 3: Whip the Cream

In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, ensuring everything is evenly incorporated.

Step 4: Assemble the Cheesecakes

  • Spoon a layer of the cheesecake mixture over the chilled crust.
  • Add a layer of banana slices followed by a spoonful of strawberry compote or fresh diced strawberries.
  • Top with another layer of the cheesecake mixture.

Step 5: Chill

Refrigerate the assembled cheesecakes for at least 4 hours or until fully set.

Step 6: Decorate and Serve

Top each mini cheesecake with a dollop of whipped cream, a banana slice, crushed vanilla wafer cookies, and a drizzle of strawberry compote. Carefully remove the cheesecakes from the liners before serving chilled.

Equipment

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas: They add natural sweetness and a more pronounced banana flavor.
  • For a firmer crust, press the graham cracker mixture firmly and chill it longer before adding the cheesecake filling.
  • Make it fancy: Garnish with fresh mint leaves or edible flowers for an elegant touch.
