Ingredients

Banana Bread:

  • 3 ripe bananas mashed
  • 6 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Cheesecake:

  • 400 g cream cheese room temperature
  • 80 g granulated sugar
  • 400 ml whipping cream
  • ¼ cup lemon juice
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp powdered gelatin
  • 3 tbsp water

Topping:

  • 250 g cream cheese room temperature
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup dolce de leche warmed in microwave
  • 2 tbsp chocolate shavings

Instructions

Make the banana bread base:

  • Combine bananas, oil and sugar. Then add the egg, vanilla and salt. Mix flour, baking soda and baking powder together in a separate bowl and add to banana mixture. Add the chocolate chips.
  • Pour the batter into a greased 9 inch round springform pan. Bake at 350F for about 30 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. Keep it in the pan and cool completely.

Make the cheesecake:

  • Beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the sugar and mix to combine. Add the whipping cream, lemon juice and vanilla extract and mix until combined.
  • Combine the gelatin and water in a small bowl and microwave for 30 seconds, or until the gelatin has fully melted. Add this to the cheesecake mixture and mix well until combined.
  • Pour the cheesecake mixture directly onto the banana bread. Place it in the fridge for 2-3 hours, or until firm.

Make the topping and assemble:

  • Beat the cream cheese, granulated sugar and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Place in a piping bag fitting with a large, star-shaped piping tip.
  • Run a warm towel around the outside of the cake pan and remove the sides. Pipe dollops of the topping onto the top of the cheesecake.
  • Place the dulce de leche into a piping bag with a small hole snipped at the end. Drizzle it all over the cake.
  • Sprinkle the chocolate shavings onto the cream cheese dollops. Then slice and enjoy!
