Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas (the riper, the sweeter)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain, unsweetened)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Batter
- Peel the bananas and place them in a blender.
- Add the eggs and Greek yogurt to the blender.
- Blend until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no banana chunks left.
Step 2: Preheat the Oven & Prepare the Baking Mold
- Preheat your oven to 360°F (180°C).
- Lightly grease a small baking mold with oil or butter to prevent sticking.
Step 3: Bake the Cheesecake
- Pour the smooth cheesecake mixture into the prepared mold, spreading it evenly.
- Place the mold on the middle rack of the oven.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the cheesecake is firm and lightly golden on top.
- Insert a toothpick in the center—if it comes out clean, the cheesecake is done.
Step 4: Cool & Refrigerate
- Once baked, remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature.
- Transfer to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours before serving. This helps the cheesecake set properly, enhancing its texture and flavor.
Serving Suggestions
- Top with fresh berries, such as blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries.
- Drizzle with a small amount of honey or sugar-free maple syrup for extra sweetness.
- Sprinkle with cinnamon or cocoa powder for a warm, rich flavor.
- Add a dollop of whipped Greek yogurt or a handful of crushed nuts for texture.
Storage Tips
- Refrigeration: Store the cheesecake in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- Freezing: Slice the cheesecake and wrap each piece individually. Freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
