Those last pics make me want to go out and get some bananas right now! Warm banana anything can make me swoon!

And here is a cheesecake recipe for Ludja:

Chocolate Wrapped Banana Cheesecake

←

I made this cheesecake last night, and its very good. I followed the recipe, except that I used vanilla wafer crumbs rather than graham cracker crumbs for the crust, I baked in 4.5" springforms, I used a waterbath and a longer baking time (I cooked them to an internal temp of ~150F), and I used a different procedure to make the bananas on top (included some nutmeg and cinnamon also). Oh, and also I did not wrap the cakes in chocolate, as I felt chocolate would be out-of-place.

These are great cheesecakes. The crust is slightly chewy and has a banana taste because it includes some banana. The filling is extremely smooth and creamy.

Fantastic Patrick. My kids are big fans of banana waffles and banana bread pancakes.
