Instructions

For the crust

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F / 180 C. Rack in middle position.

  • Add approximately 2 tsp crumb mix to each cup. Firmly press down with small cup to pack the crumbs.

For the cream cheese filling

  • In another medium bowl, combine cream cheese and sugar. Mix well for about 5 - 10 minutes or until soft and creamy. Add egg, vanilla extract and blended banana.
  • Add approximately 1 to 1 & 1/2 tbsp of cream cheese mixture into each mini muffin cup.
  • Bake in oven 350 F / 180 C for 10-15 minutes or until the top of the cheesecakes are set. Let cool the cheesecakes for 10 -15 minutes and refrigerate for at least 6 hours. 

For the whipped cream topping

  • Before serving the mini banana cheesecakes, whip the whipping cream in medium bowl with sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks are formed.
  • Place the whipped cream in piping bag with tip no. 1M and pipe little swirls on the top of the mini banana cheesecake.

Notes

  • Use this recipe for regular size muffin pan. You will make 12 individual banana cheesecakes, by adjusting the baking time to 20 minutes.
  • For smoother texture, have the ingredients in room temperature and mix the cream cheese for 5 - 10 minutes.
  • You can substitute bananas for different kind of berry fruit: strawberries, raspberries, blueberries...etc.
