Ingredients

Scale

Primary Ingredients

  • 2–3 ripe bananas (spotty and sweet)
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (full-fat or low-fat)
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Bananas: Peel and mash the ripe bananas thoroughly with a fork or potato masher until smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no large lumps.
  2. Blend in the Cream Cheese: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with the mashed bananas until fully incorporated and smooth.
  3. Add Greek Yogurt: Stir in the Greek yogurt slowly, folding it into the banana and cream cheese mixture until you get a silky, even consistency.
  4. Sweeten the Mixture: Add honey or maple syrup to taste, mixing well to evenly distribute the sweetness throughout the cheesecake batter.
  5. Chill and Set: Transfer the mixture into a serving dish or individual ramekins, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to let it firm up and the flavors meld.

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas: The sweeter and softer the bananas, the better the natural flavor and texture.
  • Room temperature cream cheese: Softened cream cheese blends more smoothly without lumps.
  • Quality Greek yogurt: Opt for plain, thick Greek yogurt to avoid excess liquid in your cheesecake.
  • Adjust sweetness: Taste before chilling and add a bit more honey if desired.
  • Chill well: Proper refrigeration is key to achieving that classic cheesecake firmness.
