Description
Mini Banana Split Cheesecakes are creamy, no-bake treats that combine the flavors of a banana split with the richness of cheesecake. Layered with graham cracker crust, banana-infused cream cheese filling, and topped with classic sundae garnishes, they’re perfect for parties or everyday indulgence.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 small ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
- Sliced banana (for garnishing)
- Chocolate syrup
- Whipped cream
- Maraschino cherries
- Chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Press about 1–2 tablespoons of the crust mixture into the bottom of each mini cheesecake cup or muffin tin.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and beat until combined.
- Fold in the mashed bananas and whipped topping until just combined.
- Spoon the cheesecake filling over the crust in each mini cup, smoothing the tops. Tap the cups gently to remove air bubbles.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.
- Before serving, top each mini cheesecake with banana slices, a drizzle of chocolate syrup, whipped cream, and a maraschino cherry. Add chopped nuts if desired.
Notes
- Use gluten-free cookies as a crust alternative for a gluten-free option.
- Dairy-free cream cheese and whipped topping can be used for a dairy-free version.
- You can substitute bananas with strawberries or blueberries for a fruity twist.
- Optional: Add a spoonful of peanut butter to the cheesecake filling for a nutty flavor.
