Instructions

Follow these steps to create your Banana Cream Cheesecake Bites:

Prepare the Crust

In a medium bowl, mix together graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of mini muffin tins to form the crust.

Make the Cheesecake Filling

In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, mixing until combined. Stir in the mashed banana and vanilla extract.

In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture.

Assemble the Bites

Fill each crust with the cheesecake filling, smoothing the top with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until set.

Add Toppings

Once set, top each cheesecake bite with sliced bananas, a dollop of whipped cream, and a sprinkle of crushed graham crackers before serving.

Enjoy your delicious Banana Cream Cheesecake Bites!

Serving Suggestions

These Banana Cream Cheesecake Bites can be served as a standalone dessert or paired with a variety of beverages. A light, refreshing iced tea or a creamy coffee drink complements the sweet banana flavor beautifully, making your dessert experience even more enjoyable.

For a festive touch, consider serving them on a platter with colorful fruit skewers or alongside a bowl of chocolate sauce for dipping. Not only does this add to the presentation, but it also provides guests with options to customize their dessert experience.

Storage Tips

To maintain the freshness of your Banana Cream Cheesecake Bites, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can typically last up to three days, although they're likely to be devoured much sooner! If you anticipate having leftovers, consider adding the toppings just before serving to keep the bananas from browning and the whipped cream from becoming soggy.

If you want to freeze some for later, do so without the toppings. Once they’re frozen, you can transfer them to a freezer-safe container. When you're ready to enjoy them again, simply thaw in the refrigerator and add fresh toppings.
