400g tub of soft cheese
½ tsp vanilla extract
237g crunchy peanut butter

Preparation steps

A few hours beforehand, place 2 bananas in the freezer until the peels turn black, then remove and thaw.
Peel the thawed bananas and then mash them well. Set them aside.
In a separate bowl, mix butter and cookies well.
Press the mixture into a 9-inch springform pan to form the cookie base.
Whip the cream until it just holds its shape.
In another bowl, stir together sugar, soft cheese, and vanilla until well combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the peanut butter to loosen it.
Fold the cheese mixture into the peanut butter until well combined.
Gently fold the mashed bananas into the cheese and peanut butter mixture.
Add the whipped cream to the mixture and gently fold until fully incorporated.
Spread the mixture evenly over the cookie base and smooth the top.
Place the springform pan with the cheesecake mixture in the freezer for several hours or, ideally, overnight.
To serve, remove the cake from the refrigerator and let it rest for 20 minutes.
Run a knife around the sides of the pan to loosen the cheesecake, then remove the sides of the pan.
Slice the remaining banana and use it to decorate the top of the cheesecake.

Health Benefits of Frozen Banana and Peanut Butter Cheesecake

Enjoying delicious desserts doesn’t always mean you have to sacrifice your health. One such guilt-free treat is the Frozen Banana & Peanut Butter Cheesecake. Not only does it satisfy your sweet cravings, but it also offers several health benefits.

1. Nutrient-rich bananas

The main ingredient of this cheesecake is small bananas, which are full of essential nutrients. Bananas are an excellent source of potassium, vitamin C and vitamin B6. Potassium helps maintain healthy heart health and supports healthy digestion, while vitamin C is an antioxidant that strengthens the immune system. In addition, vitamin B6 supports brain development and function.

2. Healthy fats from peanut butter

Peanut butter, a key ingredient in this cheesecake, provides a dose of healthy fats. These fats are primarily monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which are associated with a reduced risk of heart disease. In addition, peanut butter offers a good amount of protein, fiber and important vitamins and minerals such as vitamin E, magnesium and potassium.

3. Digestive health with fiber

Using digestive biscuits and bananas in the crust of this cheesecake adds fiber to your diet. Digestive biscuits contain whole wheat flour, which is a rich source of fiber. Fiber plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy digestion by promoting regular bowel movements and preventing constipation.

4. High quality protein from soft cheese

Soft cheese, commonly found in cheesecakes, provides a source of high-quality protein. Protein is essential for various body functions, including muscle repair, enzyme production and hormone synthesis. It also helps stabilize blood sugar levels and promote satiety, so you feel fuller for longer.

5. Nutrient boost from Double Cream

Although double cream may be considered a richer ingredient, it gives this cheesecake a nutritional boost. Double cream contains the vital vitamins A, D and E as well as calcium and phosphorus. These nutrients support bone health, improve vision and contribute to overall well-being.

With these health benefits in mind, you can enjoy frozen banana peanut butter cheesecake guilt-free. Remember: moderation is the key when enjoying a dessert, even if it is beneficial to your health.
