My dear Luca, you’ve asked for a banana recipe and I reply with an original & homemade cheesecake! If you love bananas, oreo cookies and chocolate, this is your ideal snack: a crunchy crust and a soft inside.
MAKES 1 CAKE (diameter 24 cm)
READY IN1h
INGREDIENTS
11 oz chocolate cookies (I used oreo)
3 oz melted butter
1 teaspoon honey
2 bananas
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 noce di burro
1 cucchiaio di zucchero
9 oz Mascarpone cheese (fresh cheese)
Vanilla extract to taste
2 eggs
1 teaspoon corn starch
2 tablespoons chocolate chip
Cocoa powder and whipped cream to taste
STEP 1: MAKE THE CRUST
Finely blend the cookies in a blender, then place them in a bowl and add melted butter and honey. Knead the mixture by hand, then place it into a cake tin (covered with baking paper). Press it well with fingers, then put it into the fridge for 30 minutes.
STEP 2: COOK BANANS
Cut bananas into small pieces and cook them for about 6-7 minutes in a pan with lemon juice, butter and sugar (until soft). Mash bananas with a fork and save.
STEP 3: MAKE THE FILLING
In a bowl mix bananas, Mascarpone cheese, vanilla extract, eggs, corn starch, and chocolate chip.
STEP 3: FILL AND COOK
Remove the crust from the fridge and cover it with the filling previously prepared (on step 3). Cook the cake in preheated oven at 160 °C for about 50 minutes.
STEP 4: DECORE
When cold, sprinkle with cocoa powder (and if you like it decore with whipped cream), then let the cake rest into the fridge for a couple of hours before serving.
A PIECE OF ADVICE: for this recipe I suggest you ripe bananas!
