Primary Ingredients
- 2–3 ripe bananas (soft, with brown spots for maximum sweetness)
- 1 cup full-fat or 2% Greek yogurt
- 8 oz softened cream cheese
- 2–3 tbsp honey or maple syrup (natural sweetener)
- Prepare the bananas: Mash ripe bananas in a bowl until completely smooth, ensuring no lumps remain for the creamiest texture in your cheesecake base.
- Combine dairy ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth, then add the Greek yogurt. Mix thoroughly until fully blended and creamy to create the perfect velvety cheesecake filling.
- Sweeten your mixture: Add honey or maple syrup to the mixture, stirring well to incorporate the natural sweetener evenly throughout the batter.
- Fold in the bananas: Gently fold the mashed bananas into the cream cheese and yogurt mixture, blending them thoroughly for a uniform flavor and texture.
- Chill and set: Transfer the batter into a serving dish or mini cheesecake tins. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours or until firm and set, allowing the flavors to meld perfectly.
Notes
- Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and moisture.
- Soften cream cheese to achieve a smooth, lump-free blend.
- Lightly grease or line your dish with parchment for easy removal.
- Allow sufficient chilling time for ideal texture — don’t rush it.
- Mix gently to avoid incorporating excess air and maintain creaminess.
