Total Time: 4 hours 40 minutes
Course: Dessert
Cuisine: American
Servings: 24 Mini Cheesecakes

Ingredients

For the Crust:

  • 6 Digestive Biscuits (about ½ cup crushed)
  • 2 tbsp Melted Butter

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 1 Large Ripe Banana
  • tbsp lemon juice
  • 8 oz. Cream Cheese, at room temperature (1 block)
  • 2 Large Eggs, at room temperature
  • cup Light brown sugar, packed

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a mini muffin pan with paper liners.
  • Place the digestive biscuits and butter in the food processor and process until smooth crumbs form. Divide the crust evenly in the muffin pan, about 1 tsp per muffin. Place the muffin pan in the fridge to chill while you make the cheesecake batter.
  • Mash the bananas really well with a fork. Add lemon juice and set aside until ready to use.
  • Wipe down the food processor and process the cream cheese until smooth. Add the eggs and sugar. Finally add the mashed banana mixture. Process until the batter is smooth - scrape the sides of the processor to get everything incorporated.
  • Divide the batter evenly between the cavities of the mini muffin pan - about 1tbsp of batter each. Bake for 12~14 minutes or until the tops of the cheesecake look set.
  • Remove from the oven and after about 5 minutes, gently remove the cheesecakes onto a wire rack to cool. Once they are completely cooled, chill them in the fridge for at least 2~4 hours before serving.
  • Drizzle generously with chocolate sauce before serving. Optionally top the cheesecakes with fresh berries and Enjoy!!

Notes

Tips: 
  • Make sure that the cream cheese is at room temperature. Leave it on the counter for at least 3~4 hours or even overnight. There is no shortcut to get it to room temperature.
  • NEVER microwave cream cheese unless you know exactly how long it takes to get it right.
  • Eggs should also be at room temperature. If you forget, place them in a bowl of hot tap water for about 15 minutes.
  • If you want to make this recipe in a regular 9" springform pan, then here are the ingredients: For the Crust - 1½ cups Crushed biscuits and 5tbsp unsalted butter
  • For the Batter - 3 blocks of cream cheese, 6 eggs, ¾ sup sugar, 4 medium bananas and ¼cup of lemon juice.
