BANANAS FOSTER CHEESECAKE
I adapted this recipe from one I saw online at labellecuisine.com I used all extracts because I'm underage. I have NO clue what Bananas Foster tastes like, so I can't vouch for flavor authenticity. The final product tasted more like a banana cream pie and has a REALLY creamy texture. Frankly, *I* prefer a cakier cheesecake myself, but I enjoyed this. My first attempt at a cheesecake too! Not bad. The recipe doesn't mention a water bath, but I used one anyway. I also used black walnut extract for half of the vanilla because I've seen BF recipes that use nuts (namely pecans). Next time, I'll add more cinnamon in the filling and crust because I love cinnamon.

Tips:
- Prepare the Crust First: Before starting on the filling, make sure to prepare the graham cracker crust. This will give it time to chill and set before adding the filling.
- Use High-Quality Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the final result. Use fresh bananas, real butter, and high-quality cream cheese.
- Don't Overbeat the Filling: Overbeating the filling can cause it to become dense and heavy. Mix until just combined.
- Chill the Cheesecake: After baking, let the cheesecake chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight. This will help it to set and develop its flavor.
- Use a Water Bath: Baking the cheesecake in a water bath helps to prevent cracks and ensures even baking.
- Don't Overcook the Bananas Foster Sauce: The sauce should be cooked until the bananas are softened and the butter and sugar have melted, but don't let it cook for too long or it will become too thick.
Conclusion:
The combination of creamy cheesecake, caramelized bananas, and crunchy graham cracker crust makes this Bananas Foster Cheesecake Squares an irresistible treat.
