How to Make Banana Cheesecake Dessert
- Prepare the crust: In a large bowl, combine the contents of one (1) package of graham cracker crust mix (typically around 1 ½ cups) with ¼ cup (57g) melted butter and ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar. Press firmly into the bottom of an ungreased 13x9x2 inch baking dish.
- Make the cheesecake filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine one (1) 8-ounce package of cream cheese, softened, one (1) 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk, ½ cup (120ml) heavy cream, and the contents of one (1) package of instant cheesecake pudding mix.
- Blend the filling: Beat on low speed until all ingredients are just combined. Then, increase speed to high and beat for 3 minutes, or until the mixture is slightly thickened and fluffy.
- Assemble the dessert: Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the prepared crust.
- Refrigerate: Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the cheesecake to set.
- Add the strawberry topping: Spread the contents of one (1) 8-ounce package of strawberry topping evenly over the chilled cheesecake.
- Top with fruits and drizzle: Arrange sliced bananas and pineapple chunks over the strawberry topping. Drizzle with ¼ cup (60ml) chocolate topping and ¼ cup (60ml) caramel topping.
- Add whipped topping: Spread a layer of whipped topping over the fruit and drizzled toppings.
- Final chill: Refrigerate for at least another 2 hours, or until the dessert is completely set.
- Garnish and serve: Before serving, drizzle with any remaining chocolate and caramel toppings. Garnish with chopped pecans and maraschino cherries. Enjoy!
