Description
A decadent multi-layer dessert combining a buttery cookie butter crust, silky cheesecake, and creamy banana pudding topped with whipped cream and cookie butter drizzle.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (200g) cookie butter cookie crumbs (Biscoff cookies blitzed in a food processor)
- 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, melted
- 24 ounces (680g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup (120ml) sour cream
- 2 cups (480ml) whole milk
- 1 package (3.4 oz / 96g) instant vanilla pudding mix
- 3 ripe bananas, sliced
- 1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons cookie butter (for drizzling or dolloping)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Blitz cookie butter cookies in a food processor until fine crumbs form, about 30 seconds. Mix crumbs with melted butter until combined. Press mixture into bottom of 9-inch springform pan, packing down firmly. Bake for 10 minutes, then let cool.
- In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese with granulated sugar on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, mixing just until combined after each. Stir in vanilla extract and sour cream until batter is silky and well combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Pour cheesecake batter over cooled crust and smooth top with spatula. Place pan on baking sheet to catch drips. Bake at 325°F (163°C) for 50-60 minutes until edges are set but center has slight wobble. Turn off oven, crack door open, and let cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour. Transfer to fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Whisk instant vanilla pudding mix and whole milk until thickened, about 2 minutes. Slice ripe bananas just before assembly.
- Spread banana pudding evenly over chilled cheesecake layer. Arrange banana slices on top.
- In a chilled bowl, beat heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Dollop or pipe whipped cream over banana layer. Drizzle warmed cookie butter if desired.
- Chill assembled cake in fridge for at least 2 hours before serving to meld layers and improve slicing.
