Crust
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Filling
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup Nutella
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 cup heavy cream, cold
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Prepare the Crust: Melt the unsalted butter and thoroughly mix it with the graham cracker crumbs until well coated. Press this mixture firmly into the base of your cheesecake pan to form a solid, even crust that will hold the filling perfectly.
- Whip the Cream Cheese Mixture: Using a mixer, blend the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until the mixture is silky smooth, ensuring a rich, light, and fluffy cheesecake base.
- Incorporate Nutella and Banana: Gently fold the Nutella and mashed ripe bananas into the cream cheese mixture, mixing until evenly combined to create a harmonious blend of chocolate and fruit flavors.
- Whip the Heavy Cream: Whip the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the Nutella-banana mixture to add airiness and softness for the ideal no-bake cheesecake texture.
- Chill and Set: Pour the prepared filling over the crust, smooth the top with a spatula, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to let the cheesecake set firmly and develop full flavor.
Notes
- Use ripe bananas for sweeter, more flavorful cheesecake.
- Use room temperature cream cheese to avoid lumps and smooth mixing.
- Chill mixing bowl and beaters to whip cream fluffier.
- Press the crust firmly to prevent crumbling when sliced.
- Cover with plastic wrap while chilling to keep fresh and prevent odor absorption.
