Ingredients

Base

  • 260 grams Oreos 28 original cookies
  • 75 grams Butter melted

Filling

  • 2 Ripe bananas about ¾ cup)
  • 500 grams Cream cheese softened/room temp
  • 220 grams Caster sugar
  • 125 grams Sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 200 grams Dark chocolate melted and cooled slightly

Topping

  • 30 grams Dark chocolate shaved or grated
  • Chantilly cream (optional) for decorating
  • Banana chips (optional) crushed, for sprinkling

Instructions

Base

  • Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan). Spray a 20 cm springform tin with cooking spray, then line the bottom with a disc baking paper.
  • Crush the biscuits to fine crumbs, then mix with the melted butter.
  • Press the mixture firmly into the base and sides of the prepared tin, then bake for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely.

Filling

  • In a small saucepan, gently warm the sliced bananas over low heat for 2-3 minutes -this will intensify the banana flavour. Mash, then leave it to cool.
  • In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
  • Add the sour cream and vanilla, then stir in the cooled mashed banana, Fold in melted chocolate until well combined.
  • Spoon the mixture into the cooled crust and smooth over the top. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (overnight is better)

Topping

  • Make your chantilly cream (recipe linked in notes) and pipe onto the cooled cheesecake, using your favourite piping tip (I use an open star tip)
  • Sprinkle over shaved chocolate and crushed banana chips.
