Heavenly Bananas Foster Cheesecake! Homemade smooth cheesecake made with bananas on the bottom, flavor of bananas foster infused in the cheesecake and topped with more bananas foster!
Happy 34th Birthday to my dear husband!! Yes, today is his birthday and he gets to stuff his face with cake, well cheesecake! For his birthday, he requested Bananas Foster Cheesecakeand I am sharing this cheesecake recipe with you.
Do you guys remember when I made Caramel Apple Cheesecake? That cheesecake, I made for my 2-year blogoversary and I asked my Facebook fans about their favorite flavor or which cheesecake would be the best to celebrate the blogoversary. Several suggested Caramel Apple Cheesecake but hubby really wanted to try Bananas Foster cheesecake. He became a fan of Bananas Foster after I made the Bananas Foster Crepes.Since I had many votes for Caramel Apple Cheesecake, I promised that I would make him Bananas Foster Cheesecake for his birthday. He was verypatientfor this whole month and I finally made him his cheesecake.
This is one of the best cheesecakes that I’ve made so far! It also gets even better after being in the fridge overnight. The proof is the half empty cheesecake pan. I told him to feel free and eat as much as he wants since it’s his birthday cake. He took it very seriously! If he could, he probably would finish the whole thing, but it seems to be physically impossible. If you like bananas foster, trust me, this cheesecake is THE BOMB!!
