Main Ingredients
- 2–3 ripe bananas (fully ripe for natural sweetness and moisture)
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (preferably full fat for creaminess)
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened to room temperature for smooth texture)
- 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste for subtle sweetness)
- Prepare the bananas: Peel and mash the ripe bananas thoroughly until smooth to create the natural sweetener and moisture base for your cheesecake.
- Blend the cream cheese and Greek yogurt: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add Greek yogurt and mix until fully combined and creamy without lumps.
- Sweeten with honey or maple syrup: Add your choice of honey or maple syrup into the mixture, stirring gently to evenly distribute sweetness while maintaining creaminess.
- Fold in the mashed bananas: Carefully fold the mashed bananas into the creamy mixture, keeping the texture light and airy by avoiding overmixing.
- Chill the cheesecake: Transfer the mixture into serving dishes or a springform pan and refrigerate for at least 4 hours to allow the cheesecake to set and flavors to meld.
Notes
- Use full-fat cream cheese to balance tanginess and ensure a luxuriously smooth texture.
- Allow bananas to ripen fully to enhance natural sweetness and reduce need for added sugar.
- Chill the cheesecake thoroughly (minimum 4 hours, ideally overnight) for the best texture and flavor development.
- Soften cream cheese and Greek yogurt to room temperature before mixing to avoid lumps.
- Fold bananas gently into the mixture to keep a fluffy, creamy texture without overmixing.
