Bananas Foster Topping

Method

Crust Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Graham Cracker Crust

    In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Crust

    Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Ensure it is evenly distributed. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes. Let cool.

Cheesecake Filling Preparation

  1. 3

    Prepare the Filling

    In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a hand mixer until smooth. Gradually add in the granulated sugar and continue mixing.

  2. 4

    Add Sour Cream and Vanilla

    Mix in sour cream and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

  3. 5

    Add Eggs

    Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the mixture is creamy and smooth.

  4. 6

    Pour into Crust

    Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust and spread evenly.

  5. 7

    Bake the Cheesecake

    Bake in the preheated oven at 325°F (160°C) for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour.

  6. 8

    Chill

    Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.

Bananas Foster Topping Preparation

  1. 9

    Prepare the Topping

    In a skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar and cook until it dissolves.

  2. 10

    Add Bananas

    Add the sliced bananas to the skillet and cook until they are golden and caramelized, about 2-3 minutes.

  3. 11

    Add Rum and Cinnamon

    Carefully add the dark rum and cinnamon, and cook for another minute until it thickens slightly. Remove from heat.

Assembly and Serving

  1. 12

    Serve the Cheesecake

    Once the cheesecake is chilled, remove it from the springform pan. Slice and serve with the warm bananas foster topping drizzled over each slice.
