How to Make Bananas Foster Cheesecake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare the crust (recipe not included, use your favorite graham cracker or gingersnap crust).
  3. In a large bowl, combine 16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened, ½ cup (100g) packed light brown sugar, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
  4. Add 4 large egg whites, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. Stir in 1 cup (240ml) mashed ripe bananas, 1 tablespoon banana liqueur (optional), 1 tablespoon rum (optional) and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or ½ teaspoon vanilla extract and ½ teaspoon black walnut extract).
  6. Pour the cream cheese mixture into the prepared crust.
  7. Place the cheesecake in a larger baking pan. Pour enough hot water into the larger pan to come halfway up the sides of the cheesecake pan (water bath).
  8. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15 minutes.
  9. Reduce oven temperature to 225°F (107°C).
  10. Continue baking for 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until the center is almost set but still slightly jiggly.
  11. Turn off the oven. Leave the cheesecake in the oven with the door slightly ajar for an additional 30 minutes.
  12. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and run a knife around the edges of the pan to prevent sticking.
  13. Let cool completely on a wire rack. Refrigerate uncovered overnight to allow for complete chilling and setting.
  14. Serve chilled. Garnish with caramel sauce and/or fresh banana slices, if desired.
