Ingredients:
– 1/4 cup granulated sugar
– 2 ripe bananas, mashed
– 1/2 cup caramel sauce
– 16 oz cream cheese, softened
– 1/2 cup powdered sugar
– 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
– 1 cup whipped cream
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
– Chocolate sauce (for drizzling)
– Sliced bananas (for topping)
– Maraschino cherries (for topping)
– Chopped nuts (for topping)
Directions:
1. Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners to make it easy to remove the bites later.
2. In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar. Add the melted butter and stir until the mixture is crumbly and well combined.
3. Press about a tablespoon of the crust mixture firmly into the bottom of each muffin cup. Place the tin in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.
4. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until it’s smooth and creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing until fully incorporated.
5. Gently fold in the caramel sauce and mashed bananas into the cream cheese mixture. Then, fold in the whipped cream until everything is light and fluffy.
6. Spoon the cheesecake filling into the chilled muffin cups, filling each one almost to the top.
7. Chill the cheesecake bites in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours so they can set perfectly.
8. Before serving, drizzle chocolate and caramel sauce on top of each cheesecake bite. Finish with sliced bananas, maraschino cherries, and a sprinkle of chopped nuts.
